This is the way we would go in our rig. I think highway 20 is one of the very few roads over the coastal range that is good for rvs use.
and the others are not bad at all. The descent from Tehachapi down to Bakersfield is the only part that gets a little hairy, and the traffic on 99 is pretty heavy. If it's too much for you, you can move west to I 5, but traffic will be heavy there, too.
Hwy. 20 off of I-5 is the best RV route. Hwy. 299 out of Redding usually got construction/road repair going on. It is not my choice when towing my 5th. wheel. Some hills and winding curves requiring the use of your brakes and exhaust brake if you have one. Usually has Highway Partol on this road.
