California I-5
We just drove from Lodi to Kettleman City, Southbound. The right lane is horrible! We're going to try Hwy 99 back North to save the RV. Sadly, the state has let a major highway fall into disrepair.

Add to the RVer's problem is that if you tow anything you are supposed to stay at 55. That means right lane most of the time...…. which sucks. We are going to snowbird for the first time this year and I am looking at any route besides Ca.. It will depend on the weather at first of Oct., altitudes etc.. We just returned from 2 months down to Yosemite etc. and got beat up both on 99 and I5. Not as bad North of Sac though. TB
I dont vacation in CA not even when I lived there for several reason and the speed limit is one of them
I have been driving calif. highways for years with my 5th. wheel. 1st., I use a Valentine Radar Dector $300) all the time. 1 speeding ticket can cost you $300. It will detect radar in all directions 1/4 mile away. Invaluable at night:) 2nd. I drive 63-64 miles per hour all the time and the CHP "bears" have never pulled me over. Most of the big trucks drive 61-62 MPH. I try not to pass 3 or 4 trucks in one move.
