Calif 299 between Redding and Arcata
Anyone done this route ? In the truck atlas it shows as a non-designated truck route. I was wondering about taking a 34' fifth wheel across it. Thanks !

299 out of Redding,
299 from Redding to Arcata is ok for your 34' 5th. wheel BUT! Be prepared to for hill climbs and curves for 3/4 of the trip going from east to west. You will also meet some logging trucks as you get close to Arcata, so keep your truck and rig within your white lines at all times. I would not take this route in the winter.
While hwy. 20 out of Williams might at add a couple of hrs. to your total trip, it is much more RV friendly and easier to drive. So you have to weigh what is more important---
easy drive + additional time VS harder drive with curves and hills but less time!:) Currently there is quite a bit of road construction out of Redding.
