I’m a little unsure what you mean by boondocking. For the most part, that implies out in the boonies on primitive, rough roads. And I can think of very few places where one could get a 30’ TT on that sort of road. The exception would be roads to popular areas, like lakes and such that are wide, graded and graveled. But then they’re not so rough a lightweight should be a problem. Or said another way, I think you’re unlikely to get that big a rig on a road that would be too hard on a lightweight.
That said, for fulltiming you want something on the large side and well made to stand up to the full time use. So if I were looking I’d lean toward the heavier constructed unit and weight would be secondary. And then something bigger than a ½ ton TV might be a better choice. Good luck.
