1. Assuming you are driving some type of RV, I would drive around the S.F. area to avoid congestion and traffic. If not in an RV, then choose any route you want.
2. Take Hwy. 37 to Vallejo, then to Hwy. 80, Hwy. 80 to Hwy. 780, Hwy., 780 to 680, Hwy. 680 to 101 around the San Jose area.
3. take the 101 south all the way to Oxnard
4. At Oxnard pick up Hwy. 1 and continue south to Malibu.
There is no need to drive over the "Grape Vine" on I-5. The Grape Vine is a slow, hill climbing and usually you will experience road construction on some section of the highway. Make sure your brakes are in good shape and prepare to down grade to keep your speed in control and keep your speed up when climbing . The "Grape vine" is doable in a RV just be prepared slow down and take your time. Coming down I usually
pull over in the special truck lanes and run 35 to 40 miles per hour.
