Advice for a trip up the west coast
Fellow Class A'ers, My wife and I have an RV trip planned that will take us from Las Vegas, NV to Newport,Or and back in the course of about 7 1/2 days. We've looked at a variety of different route...

101 is a major truck route and you'll have no problems along with many other RVs. I've taken the rig with toad through SF many times mostly 280/19th Ave. Middle lane, mid day works well and again this July for us. No GG toll north bound. South bound you pre pay, post pay or have FasTrak, there are no toll collectors, don't stop and cannot pay anyone.
How does going up the coast help with hills when returning? The entire OR coast is great so see the northern part if possible. The crossover at Eugene is good as are some of the other roads. Consider heading to Astoria/Columbia river and south down the entire coast or the reverse course.
There is a slight south bound rig advantage. Most of the ocean view points are on curves and on the ocean side. Hence no cross traffic when you pull off/on south bound.
