The obvious route is the only reasonable route. You could drive the Arran side coastal route on one leg of the journey to or from Campbelltown and the Atlantic coastal route the other way. That’s about it for options. Don’t expect to keep her chappin’ either. They ain’t big roads, you’ll have to tuck your elbows in at quite a few spots.
Hope you get good scenery viewing weather and enjoy your run 
Note that the Connel Bridge at Oban has a 13’9" height limit.

Just an empty flat trailer with a Daf superspace so should be fine
Ive used the road north from Balichulish loads of times, its the bit from Lochgilphead north im unfamiliar with
Done it last year on the bike.
One road in…One road out…
Enjoy
Pure driving pleasure…no bridges
wana swop places? looks like that could be a nice drive
Tipping Campbeltown, reloading Invergordon. Wow, that’s a stretch. (I think it was a song by The Band that had a line “Mr booking agent, please have mercy, don’t book the jobs so far apart”)
LochGilphead to Oban has some tight sections scattered at random along it, and needs care. Apart from that it’s not too bad by West Coast standards. I know you’ve been up this way often enough so you’ll be fine.
Unless you get a good run at it, you could need nearly seven hours driving.

Funnily enough, I was going to ask if it was you i met heading North on Loch Lomondside earlier this morning.
It was also a white truck from a well known co, pulling a blue trailer loaded with what looked like portable roadway sections.
Some people say we West Coast Scots are nosey, but we just have a very high level of natural curiosity.!!

Thankfully wee bit early for them as yet, working at the Scottish west coast forests when they’re about is hellish

Hi Dan, Yes, they have, and Yes, I do.!!
Been seeing some of your brothers outfits up this way recently. Vv smart.
Yes there’s been a one off job happening up the west side somewhere, the top driver from Turriff or turf as he puts it has been doing them 
In days gone by, (allegedly) some of these Turra loons had that many aliases that it was said that by friday night they had forgotten who they actually were.!!
Find out if he’s really from Turriff.
Ask him fit he kens aboot the Turra Coo.
Well he is a truck net poster ,I didn’t want to blow his cover

As a matter of interest, how long did it take from Campbeltown to Evanton?
5hrs 35 to Invergordon John then another 20 minutes or so the next morning to Nigg, had a decent run to be fair, i would have hit Inverness at 5ish so i swung left at Drumadrochit and went Beauly /Muir of Ord to miss the teatime traffic
