In the Western US, the real problems aren't the boondocking campsites per se, some of which might be big enough for a 30 foot fifth wheel. The real problems are the narrow and twisty forest roads, the deep ditches, and the lack of places to turn around. It is so hard to maneuver a big rig in those areas that I would not recommend getting very far off the pavement unless you first unhitch and then scout around with your tow vehicle. Really good topo maps and forest service maps are also very helpful.
Notice that I'm not saying that this is an impossible dream. But you will have to proceed carefully. Good luck!
