Ft Bragg CA and Route 1 -- long 5er

Question

I noticed on the Calif Highway Restrictions there is restriction around Ft Bragg for buses and motorhomes over 40 feet but no mention of fifth wheels or TT.

I have a 35 foot kingpin to rear bumper 5er. This makes me about 50 feet bumper to bumper. Will I be (1) "legal" or (2) have any serious problems driving up the coast from SF?

I do not mind curves or slow traffic. I most often take the "red" roads and not the interstate highways.

I've driven it with my 34' 5er I think motorhomes are prohibited because the don't bend in the middle LOL. You notice it says nothing about semi's and 5th wheels.

5th wheels/trailers aren't mentioned. Go for it. Road does have some tight turns. Personally I wouldn't take my RV on it. Road it once on a motorcycle, it was awesome.

Under the truck restriction, it says 30 foot king pin to rear axle.Truck restrictions

I think if it's restricted for buses and motorhomes, it's probably restricted for FW and trailers. It would be easy to find out by making a phone call. I'm curious about this too. I have a 37' FW and was thinking of a run up the coast and I knew the coast was a winding narrow road in places but it never occured to me that it might be restricted.
