Water is actually going to be your hangup more than fuel. Generators don't use that much fuel and 5 gallons will last a long time. So if you plan on being off the grid for a long time I would look for Freshwater storage capacity followed by blackwater. Some locations prohibit the dumping of grey water and if you are in one of these locations you will want a large grey water tank.
You say boondocking, to me that is in the middle of no where and to get there is easier in a 5vr than a class A as boondocking locations are usually back on gravel roads that can be rough. As far as once you are at your site it makes little difference in Class A vs a 5vr. I went with a class A because I can flat tow my jeep and explore, something I could not do with a truck/5vr.
