Highway 1CA (coast highway)
I have a 33ft fifth. I was thinking of driving down CA1 from Monterey thru Big Sur and on to Santa Barbara. Is this possible

How is south of Monterey for a pickup camper?
Not an issue. The road is a little narrow in places and has a few tight curves. Nothing a small C motorhome, B van, truck camper or even those towing relatively small trailers cannot accommodate in their travels. Highway 1 north of Fort Bragg (north of San Francisco) to Westport redefines narrow, steep, and very windy and I have seen fairly large fifth wheels on it with no apparent issues. Logging trucks ply this route many times a day. It is far more challenging than the segment Big Sur to San Simeon, the section you are asking about. Just be sure you know where your wheels are. You will be essentially on a cliff part of the route. It is all part of the adventure that you can tell your grandkids later on. Go for it!
