I would not bother with Hwy 1 with a 32' trailer in tow. Hwy 101 is quite scenic and lots of places along the route to San Francisco. No idea where you can stay in the San Francisco area with a trailer and the city itself is difficult enough to get around with driving a car alone.
Monterey area is only 2 hours drive time south and a lot more places to leave your trailer nearby and then explore with your tow vehicle alone.
California is unique in having so many great state parks along the coast and in having open beaches with 100% public access unlike 45 other states in the continental USA.
The best weather in northern and central California is during the months of September and October so your timing is excellent.
