I did the trip last May with my truck and slide in camper. Hwy 101 from Astoria to Willits, then Hwy 20 to Ft Bragg. South on Hwy 1 to Bodega Bay. From Ft Bragg to Bodega Bay was about 5 hours. A lot of curves and slowing down. A couple of spots seemed tight for a rig of your length.
I like the way you did it using Hwy 101 to Willits and going to Fort Bragg on Hwy 20. Thanks for the tip on Bodgea Bay. I think after seeing Fort Bragg I would get back on 101 down to San Fran then pick up Hwy 1 from Santa Cruz to Santa Maria.

Danger Will Robinson! ;)
I think you must've missed the below earlier, spot-on post from Veebyes:

Hwy 1 between Legget & Ft Bragg, a short extremely twisty section with length restrictions. Did it, TV only, not to be done with a trailer.
Also bearing in mind that Fuzzybear went over it in a truckcamper...I've done it with a trailer, BUT the tug/tow combo wasn't even as long as your fiver alone. Even then it was a white-knuckler, what with the drivers stacking up behind, and the pullouts either too small or not-enough-notice for pulling over to let them pass.
And if you need any more proof of how slow that thirty or so miles is, even Google maps gives its driving time as nearly an hour...and that's in an ordinary car.
