I've done a fair bit solo in my 32' class C. I'm not convinced it's all that much different than a 26' unit or a 36' unit in practice in most circumstances. By that I don't mean that tight quarters are not tighter if you have a larger vehicle, but rather the general nature of the challenges doesn't really change; you have to look out for your tail swing and plan ahead similarly in each of the cases, and can't generally fit in a single parking space, and so forth.
As you probably already know, the biggest secret for parking and backing is to not be afraid to get out and look...and repeat as often as necessary. Sure, some may wonder if you're good at what you're doing, but that's much better than erasing all doubt due to failing to look.
One trick I've used on several occasions when I've arrived at a campsite when it's dark or getting dark is to deploy one or a few little collapsible LED lanterns at key spots so I have a clearly visible reference for where the rock or the edge of the fireplace is, or how far back I want to end up.
