Route 299 in California

With Crescent City being the goal, it's about the same time either 299,101, vs I-5, 199. I would take 299, 101 for the scenery, but for a more easy drive, I-5, 199.

We have done 199 many times, towing our 36' fifth wheel with no problems.
Have not tried 299,so no help there. If I were going fro Redding to Crescent city, I would do 199 for certain.

I used to live in Trinity county many years ago. The road from Redding to Weaverville has improved a lot. Not sure on how it is now from Weaverville to the coast. I would think you should be okay. Call CHP and see what they say. Or the Trinity county sheriffs office.

We posted this question last year and were advised to stay on I-5 north to Hwy 199. 199 was OK for us with Class A and toad. Still windy and hilly but just allow some extra time. Check construction map. I saw about 3 construction spots on Google Maps for Hwy 199 but lots more on 299.
