RVing from Vancouver BC to DisneyLand

15 days os not enough time to do the coast justice. Instead, blast due south on I5 to Dissyland and spend your money. When you get bored with that, then start back north. The central CA coast is worth seeing. Places like Hurst castle are fantastic. SanFrancisco if you have never been there is interesting. CA wine country is great. But by then you will have eaten up almost all of your allotted time. So jump back on I5 for a fast trip back home. Still have a few days? Continue back on 101 through the Redwoods. In Oregon there are a number of good roads back to I5 when you run out of time and need to end your oddisy.

This is about right...and 15 days is not nearly enough. And in August? geeez, man...if you are going to do the coastal thing, you need to be making reservations as soon as you possibly can. And...in truth...driving north, with a 30' trailer behind is not going to make you any happier. You will want to go into viewing areas as you drive along..that's one thing, but then you have to come out left to get back north-bound and you'll be crossing oncoming southbound, into the n/b..and none of those drivers will make room for you. Hell, they'll even accelerate to prevent you from getting in front of them.

If Disneyland is the the focus of your trip..I'd say, just drive I-5, get there and do your thing. If it's the coast, then you'll do best driving it south and you do need to make reservations. It is crazy busy in summer.

The other way? Leave the trailer at home...do the coast, take a motel where/when you end up after a day, go to Disneyland and head'r home.
