Will tow 36 foot DRV fifth wheel thru Phoenix to Seattle via California this January. Any suggestions for routes would be greatly appreciated as well as considerations for passes we'll encounter.
The DRV is built for winter with good insulation, heated tanks and a generator. I'm aware unexpected delays can occur for days at any time in the mountains.
I have experience hauling a heavy truck camper thru snow but not pulling a heavy trailer.
Any helpful thoughts, comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I-5 is an interstate truck route it's never closed over a 24 hour period at any time of the year.
Siskiyou pass might require chains but it is the highest point of the trip. several lessor passes like Grant's pass may require them too.
As for your trailer, if possible power it up on electric and use a electric heater to keep it above freezing if you need it. you probable won't.
