Yes, but not in the Sierras. There is some good big-rig boondocking on the north rim of the Grand Canyon, way out in the Kaibab National Forest. Take it slow -- the potholes are deep -- but we did see a few big RVs out in the Rainbow Rim area.
The Rainbow Rim has a great mountain bike and hiking trail -- not too difficult, and some decent views. Nice and cool -- over 7000 feet. This was the view from our campsite at 5 am one morning -- this is why they call it the Rainbow Rim:

And there are areas in Utah that offer big-rig boondocking -- northwest of Bryce, for example. But the mountain roads in California tend to be narrow and rough, without decent places to turn around. We often have to do a three point turn with our little trailer, which is just 15 feet from the back to the coupler. (It's usually seventeen points by the time we're done, but you get the idea.)
