In CA, 101 to 5 via 156/152
Going northbound in the summer...Is 156 to 152 to 5 an easy drive, or should I go up 101 to 152 in Gilroy?

Generally speaking Sacramento traffic is way easier to deal with than the east bay. Even commute hour traffic in Sacramento is not all that bad. However, one accident can mess up everything whether it's Sacramento or the East bay. For example a truck overturned on I-5 near Lathrop a couple of weeks ago that shut down I-5 for a while. That caused a 20 plus mile traffic backup. You may think no problem, just jump over to 99. But remember everybody on 5 is trying to jump over to 99. But the same thing can happen in the East bay too and it's usually worse there.
If you take the East bay route you have to go over a toll Bridge in Martinez. It's a $20 toll for a two axle motorhome with a toad. It really ticks me off too because if you disconnect the toad and drive both over then it's only $5 per vehicle. If you have a tag axle I think it will cost you $25 or $30 to cross the bridge.
