It's not worth buying a class C for a stationary guest house - you'll be throwing a lot of money out on an engine and chassis that will never be used. You are far better off buying a trailer for the stationary guest house. As an example, I just did a quick nationwide search on 22-26ft RVs 1996-2006 on RVTrader. The prices (low to high) came out as follows:
Class C $8,900 - $69,995
TT $2,000 - $42,000 (Airstream) $21,500 (non-Airstream)
You can get a lot more TT for the money than you can a class C.
I would buy one lightweight or hybrid used TT around 20ft that can be towed by the Durango and use it for both purposes. Your kids can always sleep in a tent when camping (many kids prefer it over sleeping in the RV with the adults) if it's a bit tight. If your guests really like you, they'll be fine for a week or two - if they don't really like you, then why worry about their comfort to that extent.
