There are RV parks in Kanab, Utah and at Jacob Lake, AZ (no lake, by the way).
The ranger station at Jacob Lake would be a good stop for the Rim information.
The drive from Jacob Lake to the North Rim is a good 2-lane paved highway. No issues for big rigs. It's almost straight as an arrow and no big climbs. It's about 40-50 miles from Jacob Lake and not much to stop for - just forest.
DeMotte national forest campground is on the right just before the park entrance. It's very pleasant. No hookups but it'll be cool up there.
If they don't have a site for you, go to the next forest service road just beyond the campground (F.S.22, I believe). This is a good graded gravel road and you only have to drive in 1/2 mile or so to begin finding some nice boondocking spots. Take you pick and park it. :)
The national park itself MIGHT have a site but I wouldn't count on it especially if you pull in other than early morning.
With our 40' motorhome we've stayed at both the DeMotte campground and boondocking sites. Have fun! Be sure to walk the short trail outside the restaurant to the end of the point. Very nice!
