San Diego thru Laguna Hills to Fresno, Ca.
Wondering if I should stay on I-5 or take 405 ? Would be traveling on Sat. Feb 1st ... leaving 8 a.m. San Diego with a 2 hr. layover in Laguna Hills. See below.. 35' Class A w/tow car. About 48...

Laguna to the top of the valley: Personally I would take the 405
Even though its only slightly shorter, the I-5 is crawling with trucks 24/7 in both directions and there are WAY more accidents and jams on the 5 than the 405. 405 has construction in a few places as well, but it's a way easier drive.
While Dennis's route MAY have less traffic (one never knows around here), it's considerably longer.
Timing: Leaving San Diego at 8AM will put you in Laguna around 9:30'ish. A 2hr layover in Laguna will put you on any route you choose around noon-1:00, and that is the peak of Sat traffic, which is often as bad or worse than rush hour because it can encumber much longer distances. Sunday morning is about the only really light traffic time from that direction.
