Is there any problem taking the rig in my signature over Hwy 20 from Willets to Fort Bragg?

You'll have to take it easy on those curves and swing wide. Some are very tight and you can't see the oncoming traffic. It's doable, but very slow going for most of the drive. Hopefully you won't bottom out your rear end on some of the downward turns. Let us know how you did.

I don't like to brag, but I can still fit into the same pair of ear rings that I wore in high school!!!!

We did that route in a 35 ft MH towing a Dodge Dakota both ways it is doable however slow with lots of curves and not many pull outs. There are not many choices any better to get from Willits area to the coast. Have fun

We have been using that route to the coast for over 40 years in everything from a 36' travel trailer to our current 40' dp with a toad with no problems. The logging trucks are gone since the mill closed and as far as bottoming out on the downward curves, that is a non-issue. Just take it easy and it should take you about an hour and fifteen minutes to navigate those 33 miles.

We've done it several times in our 38' DP and Jeep Wrangler toad, with no problems at all. It was slow, but didn't take as long as some of the others who have responded - took us about an hour.
And our rig is nearly the same size as the OP's 38' DP and Jeep Liberty toad.
I don't think you'll have a problem.
