CA Hwy 1

Going to west coast in June. Plan to cut over from Hwy 101 to Hwy 1 just north of GG bridge and take it up to Leggett. I have a 40 ft MH with toad. I don’t mind the curves. What are my chances of getting stopped because of length. MH is actually 41 ft from end to end.
  • Downtheroad, yes a Tiffin DP 38QRA and 20ft enclosed trailer. Total length was right at 65ft. There will be instances where you will be using both lanes. You have to be aware of what you are driving and watch for everyone else as well. In my opinion i disrupt the traffic no more than the bicycles do.
  • Thanks for all the advice. Reviewed the entire route on Google Maps and don’t see anything worse than some roads I have traveled in the past. Will have DW drive the toad for the first 50 miles or so the see how things go.
  • Took this route southbound out of Leggett this last summer. Very slow road with tight hairpin curves very sharp drop offs right at the roads edge.. At that time, 3 washouts enroute that the state was working on and single lane passing over them. Had my hands full and that was with a 22 ft class C no toad. Stayed at Westport RV park that night. Right on the beach. Beautiful campground.
  • I haven't been on the section south of Marshall in a few years and it was exciting. Otherwise no reason to disconnect IMHO. At the far north end there are several 15MPH switch backs.

    When I’m not sure of a route I “drive” the sketchy portions using Google Earth’s Street Level option. Saves me a couple times.
