Taming the Beast: Can You Wrestle an RV Through San Francisco?
Ah, San Francisco. City of sourdough, cable cars, and...nightmarish parking situations? If you're a seasoned RV adventurer, you might be wondering if your trusty mobile home can navigate the City by the Bay. Buckle up, because we're about to dive into the wild world of RVing in SF, with a healthy dose of humor (because let's face it, sometimes you gotta laugh to keep from crying while white-knuckling your way down Lombard Street).
Driving: It's a Maybe...with Emphasis on the "Maybe"
San Francisco's streets are like a rogue roller coaster designed by a mischievous child. Those iconic hills? More like death-defying inclines that would make your RV whimper. Sharp turns abound, and some roads are narrower than your average runway model's waistline. Doable? Perhaps, in a smallish RV, with nerves of steel and a map that highlights all the flat, boring (but safe!) routes.
Golden Gate Bridge? You can definitely cross this beauty, but be prepared for tourists, strong winds, and NO shoulders. It'll be an experience, that's for sure.
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.
