Heading to Seattle
A friend will be heading from Kansas City to Seattle after Christmas. She will be driving a motorhome with a Jeep toad. Can someone give some advice for this trip and the best route to take.

No matter which route she chooses she will face mountain passes and the possibility of snow and ice. She'll need to carry chains no matter which route she takes. I can't speak for other states, but in Washington (if she chooses a northern route using I-90) she will need to chain up even when snow tires are advised- that's required for vehicles over 10K GVWR. I would advise her to be flexible and monitor weather reports carefully to avoid having to drive over passes in the snow. But she may not have a choice.
