For some people the slightest curve or hill discourages them from taking an RV places including PCH Ragged Point through Big Sur. For others they just do it. Ninety- nine percent of bicyclists are going north to south to avail themselves of the prevailing wind, they will be no issue for you going north. And virtually all motorcycles will not be any factor for you, either, as they simply want to get on up the road and are not a hindrance to anybody. Believe the naysayers if you want or just go do it. My only suggestion is to be sure you know where your wheels are around corners especially the front truck wheels to give you the most room in the lane for cornering with the fifth. Other than that -- go for it. If you want to worry about it, Caltrans has a website with max lengths allowed on state highways. You might check into this segment. Google 'Caltrans maximum vehicle lengths on state highways'. If I recall trucks are limited to 65 feet long between Carmel and San Simeon. But, check it out the map and corresponding color coded descriptions are interesting.
I agree - some are just wimps and don't know how to drive or something. Quit being a wuss everyone. Man up already. I have driven the entire 1 from top to bottom with my last 32ft class C pulling my car on a dolly as well as taking my 35ft bumper pull travel trailer up that road multiple times. It's just a road people. Don't be afraid.
Done it quite a few times in my 35 foot DP towing my Dodge Dakota. It's a piece of cake. I cannot figure out why people are so scared of the road. Now there are some sections North of Marin that I do avoid, but Highway 1 from Monterey down into SLO is a good road and there is no turn too tight for a motorhome or trailer of legal length. Even the State only bans motorhomes or trailers over 40 feet long. If it was safe for something shorter they would have banned them too and said cars only.
