I took peoples advice and went 80 to 680 - to 580 - then over the San Mateo Bridge and highway 92 to the coast: It was easy. I'll go that way again. There's an easy gas stop just before the Carquinez Bridge on the northeast side (I think it's a Texaco.) Where else could I stop with a 28' travel trailer once I go over the bridge into the Bay Area?
If you went the route you described, you did not cross the Carquinez Bridge, you crossed the Benicia-Martinez Bridge. Also, I just did a Google check and it would have only added 8 miles to your trip just to take I-5 south to 580 and then gone over that way. That gets you out of one bridge toll ($20 with a trailer now isn't it?) and it gets you out of the I80 traffic through Fairfield and Vacaville which can be bad.
