Oregon 199 to crescent city, ca

Question

Thought I had this all figured out.. but now I learn 199 probably isn't a good road for 40foot plus tow...

We are trying to get from Ashland, ore area to Brookings...
Think we'll have to drive up i-5 to catch 42 and cut over at Bandon...
Any other suggestions??

Thanks

I have used it for many years......parts of it are slow....some tight corners but truckers use it everyday. From Grants Pass to Crescent City only takes a couple of hours...I-5 to 42 to Bandon will add way over an hour to that time. The road is fine.

Just drove it Thursday in a 40 footer towing. Scenic drive with some slow areas. Would do it again.

199 is one of the better roads between I5 and 101 in Oregon. Best route to Brookings from where you are now.Pass up 197 and continue on 199 to 101.

Hubby's old stomping ground. Yes, there are a few curves but its completely drivable with your rig.
