FWIW, if you're considering 395 to 58 and then catching either 99 or 5 from there, the interchange between 58 and 99 is a hot steaming mess at the moment. Some time late next year we will have a straight shot of freeway all the way from 58 out to I5, only 35 years later than we actually needed it.
I tend to prefer 5 when towing, 99 in the car. But if I'm wanting or needing to take frequent stops on the way 99 is better for that. Try to time your trip so that you're not in Sacramento trying to cross the Bus. 80 to get over to 5 near any rush times and you're good.

Take 99!
There were a couple of spots where there was no lane changes and the lanes were narrow but not a bad as I80 was a few years back. Just plan on an extra hour going up as far as Sacramento.

Without any doubt, 99 is better than either 5 or 395 for road surface condition, and when driving a truck camper, it's a no brainer. I'll never go I5 again to SoCal.
As far as heading North from Sacramento to the state line, in Stockton take hwy 4 over to I5. Then take I5 the rest of the way as it's faster.

Overall 99 is a better road on your RV. Although I-5 has been getting alot of road repairs, there are still some sections north of Kettlemen City are less than smooth. I-5 might be a little quicker as far as time but as of May 2019 I would still choose 99 until they do some more road repair on I-5. On and off traffic is not a big issue like it use to be. 99 is not as hard on your RV . I-5 around Salem can have some traffic to contend with especially early am and around 5 pm when workers are going home. Try to avoid those times. I-5 in Seattle can be a real cluster of traffic. Take the 405 to skirt around Seattle.
