We have traveled 101 from WA to south of SF a couple of times. A great drive with a lot of great sights. We even left 101 and took Hwy 1 ONE time. I would not do that again going South, maybe North. Lots of great places to stay, both public and private along the way. Be aware that the OR State Parks are full in the summer season most of the time. As to height problems, our motorhome is 13', other then a couple of tunnels (hug the center stripe) nothing to worry about.
I disagree, I would much rather travel from N to S. The pull-outs are more plentiful on the ocean side and are much easier to use without crossing traffic.
It is a great trip that we just did a couple of months ago. As "sp8gold" suggests, you should make reservations especially on weekends.
This was a very special spot for us.

And just what do you disagree with?? WA to SF IS N to S!!
sp8golf said that he has done the trip several times and says that he would "not do that again going SOUTH', that is what I would question. I applaud his choice to do both Hwy-1 and 101, Hwy-1 can create a tight spinchter in places, but it is worth it for the views. Perhaps he is referring to Hwy-1 rather that 101? Even so I would do Hwy-1.
The ocean side lane creates a more challenging perception, but mostly for the passenger than for the driver, but the inside (up-land) lane is more often an issue.
