Calif Hwy 101
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...

Going back and checking Caltrans,the section from 101 junction to Legget is closed to Motorhomes over 40',except for a couple of sections. If I remember correctly,there is a sign past Marin City going north on #1,at the intersection of the Panoramic highway,that says buses and vehicles over 30' prohibited beyond this point.
The last time I drove that section northbound,I was in my suburban,it was VERY foggy and I had some crazy woman in a BIG BMW sedan pushing me hard. She passed me on a blind curve and 1/2 mile later pulled off in a coffee stop.
Nope, so such sign on the 30'. Most of Highway 1 along the coast is restricted to 40 foot and under which is why I put that right in my post. I've done Highway 1 in my 35' motorhome with toad numerous times. If you are afraid of heights and aren't comfortable with curves, then stay off Highway 1. Otherwise it's fine for a 40 foot and under motorhome. The section South of SF is easier than the section North of SF.
