heading from Sacramento to Bandon Oregon
with my small TT, didn't really matter.
now a 30ft 5th wheel.
looking at going all the way i5 to Roseburg, then to Bandon
would going up and over the mountains in Ashland be an issue.
OR should I get over on 101 and go north.
thanks.
1. I-5 over toward Ashland Hwy. 138 west to 138 is shorter and quicker. Spend 1st night at 7 Feathers RV park in Canyonville. Make reservations! As long as your truck has sufficient power (i.e. At least a 3/4 ton truck) you will ever ok, just tasks it easy/relax going up hill. Make sure your brakes are good/excellent going down te hill. Use your trasmission to slow/control speed. I don't let my downhill speed go higher than 50 mph. It helps if you have an exhaust brake to control your speed.
2. Or, take hwy 20 to 101 and head north. Ok if you are limited by time but would not be my choice.
