I've been having very good time, boondocking non-stop for a few months now.
Class C is too large for me, though, at 26' but it'd be the same at 24', as I can't get into many campsites or just have to let it be scratched some. It's not only ground clearance but also roof and side clearances, at 11.5 feet the roof is catching branches.
I carry a trimmer with long expandable pole to get rid of dry branches, National Forest Service does not maintain anything anymore, their goal is to have roads overgrown and closed to the public forever.
Class C does really well in the deserts with flatter terrain and in well-maintained public campgrounds. (I avoid campgrounds, and the only one time I stayed in one was exactly when I came close to an accident with the tree)
I think I'd want a high clearance setup with a truck + little trailer, because I've been having harder time getting into desirable campsites in the wooded mountains for the last 2 months (with putting more effort/driving an extra mile though I'm still always able to find campsites miles from anyone else, mostly) But boy trucks are expensive now, even used ones with a good mileage. Trucks are a total rip off and I won't give it to them. A truck that was 26K in 2022, was 36K in early 2023 and is 44K now. It's crazy. Used trucks seem to cost almost no less than brand new ones too. There's no price correction at all and from what I read it might not be coming. Trucks are severely overpriced. I kind of wish I bought a truck in 2022.
I bought my class C in very good condition with 13K miles on it for only 43K including the dealer prep fee. I probably would have to pay the same or more to buy a used truck alone, with much more mileage on it. Camper vans are also insanely priced, I just won't pay them these money, it doesn't make any sense. So I think I'll continue to boondock in my class C until the end of my trip and then sell it and head to live overseas. I'm thinking might trade in for a reasonably priced older B+ if I decide to boondock for the 2nd year (some of them seem to be better priced than class B/vans, go figure)
