mdejoie Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 I’m heading to Fairfield Ca with our 5th wheel on Sunday. Google shows I5, 99 or 395 which is a little longer up the backside. Which is the preferred route. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2gypsies Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 398 miles - Hwy 99 407 miles - I-5/580/680 Lot of trucks and traffic 455 miles - 395/50 - scenic drive if it's not snowing - watch weather report We've drive on all 3 routes with our 40' motorhome. We love 395/50.

Payroll Person Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 Hwy 12 can have traffic and bridge delays, esp weekends. Trade off is avoiding altamont or other alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdejoie Posted May 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Thanks it looks like 99 to 12. Next time I’ll do 395 but the wife wants to see the center of California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbaraok Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Good luck on 99 - it was really a piece of work last summer. Personally I'd go I-5 down because we had such a horrible time last year.

Payroll Person Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Avoids tolls taking 99/12… 12 has plenty of direct west, so be prepared if late afternoon. Leaving rio vista is the sketchiest, narrow, no shoulders. Just be prepared for bridge delays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbaraok Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 I-5 to Lodi has no roads, and that's where you pick up 12 to go west.
