I've been perusing RV Trader and craigslist for used motorhomes. There are plenty of Class C models that seem suitable, and a very few Class As (Fleetwood Flair and Safari Trek caught my eye). Originally I was looking at Class Bs (love the Roadtrek), but I suspect they're lacking in both overall storage and water capacity for boondocking. I'd love to hear from those of you with experience what the advantages are of each class.
I have a Roadtrek 210P and about 1/2 my camping is dry camping. I can easily go a week on the tanks and when my SO joins me we can do about 3 days. This does require knowing how to do navy showers. The bigger problem is electrical and in addition to the on-board generator I have a portable solar panel. The solar does a good job of keeping the batteries up though so it was a good addition.
As for storage, it is a little cramped but I do have room that I haven't filled yet. I keep things like hiking and backpacking equipment, tools, lawn chairs, outdoor grill and other assorted stuff on board mainly in the outside compartments leaving the inside cubby holes available for the rest of my junk, food and clothes.
Mine is a twin bed unit that I had to special order because at the time some of the people I camped with I had no desire to sleep with. Now days whether it's just me or me and my SO we tend to convert the twins into a King, and the only annoying thing about this is having to convert it most evenings and mornings.
