From the replies below it appears that there lots of options out west but it will be a few years till we have the time to start exploring out there. ........
When, not IF, you come west there are two must do rides. The Downieville Descent and the Flume Trail at Tahoe. Downieville is a top 10 kind of ride in northern California. And the Flume Trail has 50,000 riders a year as a very popular Lake Tahoe Nevada trail that is loaded with scenery overload and history of the Comstock mining era. And lots of camping in the area. The west is huge so a big fifth wheel is almost never a problem except for a few Pacifc coast old campgrounds. But, nearby is always a bigger place to camp sometimes an RV park. No excuses not to come ride the Sierras legendary mountain bike single track rides. And between Reno and Los Angeles on the eastern side of the Sierras is Mammoth that has incredible mountain bike trails. Spend some time on Google checking out the trails.
