Has anyone ever traveled from Lassen volcanic NP to Eureka on Rte 44 in a motorhome pulling a trailer?

No, but it is a nice trip.

299 between Redding and the coast is a good road, but as mentioned it in windy. It's been a while since I've been on it, and I've only done it in the car, but I recall looking at the map and thinking it looked like about a 90 minute drive. I don't recall exactly how long it ended up taking, but it was pushing five hours, but that was with a few stops to enjoy the scenery and the river.

As far as I know, 44 ends in Redding, and 299 gets you to the coast.

We take 44 from just outside of Susanville over to the intersection of 89,,, then on over to I-5 at Shasta, Excellent road for that direction so can't imagine why it would be different from the other direction

299 to the coast will have construction delays, but we enjoy the route.

From Lassen to Redding on 44 is ok. You then take 299 to Eureka. you shouldn't have any trouble, but I must war you that there are lots of curves along that route. If you aren't worried about constantly turning tightly, you will do very well. Larger rigs than a 34'er travel it with ease. Good Luck
