OK - I am from Victoria as well, and have done the coast (N. & S. many times).. To catch the 6am Coho you have to be there at 5am, or spend overnight at the terminal. HUMM - early start! By the time you clear customs it will be 8am Then 101 out to I-5, south to Longview/Kelso and west on 30 to Astoria. Nehalem State Parkwould be a GOOD 1st night stop - north of Tilamok - super park. About 6-7 hr drive( 300 mi.)
101 in Aug will be a ZOO south. - Lots of parks BUT lots of traffic, HOWEVER ALL the parks will be on the right(west) side of 101 S.
I am thinking MIN. 4/5 days (no stops) to Calif. near Aneheim (for Disney) add a couple of days for the mouse and you are over 1/2 your time.
I would forget Sandyeggo and zoo - spend more time on the coast route - do disney, then hit I-5 for back home.
When you get into Wash.(coming back) a GOOD RV park is MIDWAY RV Pk. in Centrailia - about 3-1/2 - 4 hrs to Pt Angeles, out 101.
happy motoring
