Got a "new to me: class a 35 foot class A gasser.
The story of it is I'm in a band and this is our new tour bus.
We are going to do some minor modifications and make it our own.
I am not new to RVing, I have been involved with RVs since I was 4 and have driven them many times before..
..but never in the snow and certainly never on the mountains in the snow.
We have a winter tour of Winter Park and Breckenridge Colorado coming up and we would be traveling from the Chicago land area.
My question is:
Is this an endeavor worth trying or is it something I should run far far away from? We are trying to decide whether taking the bus is an option or if taking our cars and hopping hotels would be a better bet.
If I chain up the drive tires and take it slow, how would a Class A handle such a challenge? We would have the luxury of time as almost every member of the band works remotely, so we could wait out storms, but if this is going to be a freak show, we want to avoid getting into something that's going to be too much.
Any input, opinions or advice is MUCH appreciated!
Thanks,
First off - IMHO if you are "Asking" then likely the reply should be NO!That said, sure it can be done but the real question is "Should YOU be doing it"?
Bing Map between Breckenridge and Winter ParkBiggest issue you have is Getting From Winter Park and OVER Berthoud Pass - High - Snow covered - Switchbacks.
So it is a challenge and I might suggest if really bad look at heading to Kremmling and taking Route 9 to Silverthorne. Lower elevation and gentile roads.
Couple of notes on Colorado and driving - Every weekend Thousands drive up from the Denver area to Ski - there is an RV resort in Breckenridge - Tiger Run - but pretty sure there is nothing open in Winter Park, so that will be more than a slight challenge.
Advice, work on getting it ready for future "tours" not in the Winter and when the RV parks/Campgrounds are Open.
Hope this is of some Help.
