CA. 5 south to 10 east

You answered your own question on your edit. That keeps you completely out of any LA traffic as well as all the construction on the 5 through the pass.

I just went from the 5 to the 10 down to Palm Springs this past weekend. I am near the 210, so I use the 5 to the 210, to the 10. The problem with the 210 heading east is the bottleneck where the 210 and 134 meet. Make sure you are in the #3 lane before the transition. After the 210 and 134 merge, if you are in the #4 lane it exits, and it is difficult to move over. I am a lot longer, coach/toad/tow bar are 64'9", so it is a bit harder to move around in traffic.
If I were coming from Bakersfield, I would take the 58 to the 395, then the 15 south to the 210 east, which eventually merges into the 10. Probably a lot more relaxing drive.

Either route is RV friendly

Good luck

The 58 to 395 to I-15 to I-10 is a good route. There is a small short cut when on the I-15 by taking the 215 and then turn off on the east bound 210 over to I-10. This by-passes San Bernardino and Riverside.

However, as mentioned, taking the 210 off of I-5 over to I-10 is not a bad way to go. The 210 can get a little busy sometimes, but very doable in an rv.

Good luck

I live off the 210 in the Pasadena area. It depends on what day and time you are planning to pass through it is really bad at times.

Once you get to Valencia (Six Flags Magic Mountain) on the 5 take the 210 to Pasadena, Stay on the 210 for a long drive past the 15 then the 215 until the 210 merges with the 10. You could still get some significant traffic in the Santa Anita area. If you take this route there is a confusing merge where the left lanes head into Pasadena and exit the freeway and the right lane goes through an underpass to take you to onward on the 210. The far right lane goes to the 10. This all sounds confusing, but it is my favorite route from the San Fernando valley to points South or to Las Vegas by car. In the motorhome I take Palmdale highway to avoid the steep grade on the 15.
