Taking 152 west from Gilroy into Watsonville is NOT advised for your rig; it's narrow and curvy and in several places, the trees are pretty close to the road's edge.
If you want to avoid going "over the hill" on 17, the simplest option is to take 101 south to 129 into Watsonville, then go north on 1; be aware that traffic is heavy on 1 (both directions) through the Capitola/Soquel/Santa Cruz areas. Have your route to Felton (on Hwy. 9) from 1 mapped out in advance by whoever is doing the navigating. I suggest checking Google earth for road layouts; with a 30' 5th wheel, there are not many opportunities for making fast lane switches or turning around.
