"Self absorbed agenda??? Really! Logging trucks travel California 1 several times every day both directions. I have traveled this route and don't understand why the OP's 32 foot fifth wheel would not be able to easily negotiate the route from Leggett to Fort Bragg. As long as the OP knows where the wheels of the fifth wheel are in curves there should be no issues. Why scare people away from the most northern part of perhaps the most scenic highway in all of America?"
What would you call folks who drive roads that they cannot safely navigate? Having driven those roads recently and watched folks fail miserably to stay in their lane or even on the pavement with rigs that could be described as "somewhat large" I stand by my concerns. My comments are meant to be taken as a warning as to just how tight these roads are. Once you commit to them there are few if any options when it comes to turning around.
I never encountered a loaded logging truck on either road though we did see them unloaded with the rear carriage brought forward or running fully loaded on 101. These are professional drivers who drive these roads every day in all kinds of weather and they bring a skill set that few RV owners could ever hope to match. Never had one in my lane. Leggett to Bragg is better road than 1 north to Willits but not by much.
Yes, both of these roads are among the most beautiful we have ever encountered and I assume that is why so many folks with large rigs pull a Toad.... so that they can safely enjoy the ride.
