I've done 138/38 from Sutherlin to Reedsport a couple of times when we went to Florence, but there's some other options further north that I haven't been on. 22/18 looks pretty easy on a map. 20 looks a little worse, but not as bad as some the traps I've fallen in crossing over down around Sea Ranch and Manchester.
My 1st. choice would be Hwy. 42 over to CoosBay/Hwy. 101. I use this route every year and tow a 33 ft. 5th wheel.
An alternative route would be:
Sac. I-5 north to Hwy. 20 at Clear Lake over to 101 and then north up the Oregon coast. RV friendly route and gives you a great scenic trip up the whole Oregon coast to Depoe Bay. I suspect the milage is approx. the same. This also eliminates going over the Siskiyou mountain.
