And I should point out here, I'm from California so steep windy roads on the edge of cliffs are no big deal to me. When you see people telling you to stay off Highway 1 in a motorhome check their profile and you'll see they are often from a flat state. I understand where they're coming from. If you're used to driving through soybeans and cornfields then Highway 1 can be a little scary. But if you don't have a fear of heights and you can handle your motorhome, it is a doable road in a 40 foot and under motorhome. I've seen semi-trucks with 40 foot trailers out on Highway 1 taking supplies in to the communities on the road.

Very good point!

This is something I noticed a while back. Every time the subject of Highway 1 comes up there's always a group of people who come on here and tell everybody to don't go anywhere near it and they talk about how scared they were and how they almost fell into the ocean three times driving on the road. I never could understand why people were so afraid of it, especially the part south of Monterey. North of San Francisco is a little more tricky, but the road south of Monterey is just fine.

Then I took a cross country trip a while back and started noticing how flat everything is once you get passed the Rockies. That's when I figured out that the Highway 1 problem was mostly people from the flat lands. They just aren't used to driving on the side of cliffs.

But you are forgetting the OP is driving a 43 ft MH and that vehicle is prohibited by law on this highway. Are you suggesting he should break the law?

Read my very first post to the OP. The subject changed from the OP's question to don't take motorhomes on Highway 1.
