Planning on going south across the Golden Gate late morning Sunday 12/23. My choice is to stay on Hwy 1 or follow 101 through the city until they reach a freeway. Or do I go around the east bay to get south to the 101 to Paso Robles? I am a Super C 36’ long with a car on a tow dolly. Thanks.

We have used that highway one route through San Francisco, both north and south, many times without difficulty.

I see people doing 19th ave in large motorhomes (and city busses of course) all the time, but it's not for me! I'd probably come in from the North, find somewhere in Marin to spend the night, and take the toad into the city for the day. Then come back and cross over 580 and go down the East Bay the next day.

If you must just pass though, I'd do 101 over the bridge, then 19th ave (Hwy 1) to 280. Following signs to 101 from the GG bridge would take you downtown in a way you really don't want to be in a motorhome...

I asked the same question and people told me to go through town and across the Golden Gate bridge in my 37 ft MH towing the Jeep
I did it this past April - it was not too bad but note the route takes you on city streets - I stuck to the outside lane and it was a little tight as cars were parked along the road on my right

If there is a next time I might go around and avoid that area
