Reading your original post, you set two conditions which are usually incompatible: off-road and $25,000. Indeed, most of the $50,000 RV's that I have seen at shows look like they would disintegrate about two miles down a fire road.
To your other point, Class B vs. Class C, I recently spent a lot of time comparing Sportsmobile 4x4 vans to my Malayan Tiger. The Sportsmobile, a Class B, is a lot smaller on the inside, because of the curved sidewalls. Interestingly enough, some were also larger on the outside as they were littered with exterior storage boxes and spare tires. Several of the people who toured our Malayan at Overland EXPO were Sportsmobile owners who loved the 4x4 of their vans, but commented that they found the Sportsmobile to be a great weekend warrior, but much less comfortable for extended trips.
Scholars differ on all of these points, of course, and my wife and I did live in the back of a '72 Blazer for 90 days once, crossing the Sahara, but if there is any way that you can work the finances, I think that you would find a Tiger motorhome to be just what you are looking for. That or one of the more narrow truck campers, like the Northstar.
Best wishes, whatever you choose.
