You should not have any problem on 299. Buckhorn is the steepest pull. Of all the I5 to 101 connections in Northern Ca and Oregon 299 is not bad. Now 199 is very narrow and crooked. I brought the Montana through there last year even though I knew how narrow it was and I made it ok. Just had to take my time and swing wide.

Further north we have been across most of the routes with the Montana and we prefer highway 42 (Winston to Coos Bay). Last week we took 126 over to Eugene and then took 38 on the return trip. I prefer 38 from Reedsport to Cottage Grove. I thought 126 was narrow in places and very crooked. Further North in Oregon highway 20 at Newport is similar to 126 but 18 at Lincoln city is pretty smooth sailing. I am sure others can give you more info as you need it.

Have fun on the coast.
