We want to drive from LA area to Astoria Oregon on Hwy 101 with our 38' motorhome and toad. Is this entire route easily done with our setup. Wife is not a fan of narrow roads with cliffs. Traffic does...
When you go through the Bay Area there are a couple of choices. In San Jose switch over to I-280 to 19th Ave and go through San Francisco to the Golden Gate Bridge. In San Jose take I-880 to I80 and go over the Richmond San Rafael Bridge to Hwy 101. Both routes are subject to heavy traffic. Timing is important to avoid commuter traffic. Hitting San Jose about 9:30 to 10am is ideal. I've done both routes, the SF is the most direct, but city traffic.
