Tires with a ply count higher than 10 should be on one's Class C though, as I've read that rocks on the road to it can be sharp. Once there, I wonder if one would be allowed to camp in the Racetrack area?
The preceding discussion in this thread reminds me of something that I've thought about for a long time. Does a Western U.S. Class B/C-centric RV club exist wherein they have almost exclusively boondocking rallies and get togethers? Maybe similar to what these folks do with their Airstream trailers: http://sierranevadaairstreams.org/snu/
There's no reason that truck campers should have all the fun. ;)
