We did a trip like that in snow conditions from Bend a couple of times .
I had some old cable chains that I put on my travel trailer .
I have a gmc diesel Allison 4wd pickup that is 9200 # gvw and actual was about 8600 # in the pickup .
the trailer axles were about 5400# .
I did not chain up the pickup . I just went slow .
We took it easy and traffic was very light .
It took us extra time and we did an overnight stop to use 120V hookups enroute , which we generally do not .
We had our little electric heaters working away in the fresh water tank compartment under the bed in front and the bathroom in back. I had filled that tank prior to departing but I had not run the water through the lines yet . Nothing froze .
