Class C boondocking

I agree with many of the replies so far. We recently did what Gary Haut suggested: getting a four wheel drive conversion done on a used short class C. Lots cheaper than a new 4x4 rv, and finding a used 4x4 that you like is almost impossible. Find a good used short class C that you and your wife like (comfortable floor plan.) Preferably on the E 450 chassis. Then get it converted to four wheel drive. We also had a camper on our four wheel drive truck for a few years, but then bought our used C to gain more room and creature comforts, but of course the C couldn't go where our truck and camper could--primarily because of ground clearance issues. The conversion we had done involves a 4 inch lift, and then we changed over to 235-85-16inch all terrain tires which added another 1 inch of lift. That extra 5 inches of ground clearance really makes a difference on some of the rougher Forest Service roads. We recently were out boondocking at a beautiful spot for 4 days in the middle of Plumas National Forest. We were literally miles away from the next campers. Would not have driven in there without the conversion. Hope you find something you like and can afford, as it really is a great way to go "camping. "
