I would compare the specs on each MH you are considering for off paved road camping. I think in general what you will find is more capacities in a short A over a C or TC. Compare CCC, FW (more is better with no hookups), battery AH's, storage(you want to fit all your stuff), tire size and load capacity, and ground clearance. Going slow over or around pot holes is not a problem but having only 20 gals of FW when I could have 60 - 80 is a problem to me or not having my raft, oars,etc, fishing stuff or my bikes. Everything is a trade off but to me the important things are FW, storage, CCC, battery power, and GC in that order. If you tow a 4 wheel drive like a jeep in a small class A the jeep will take you places the other vehicles can't which to me would give you the best of both worlds.
