Traction wise I think the Class C, with all of the weight found on the duallies would have been fine especially with the cable chains I used on the Crown Vic.
That is our site just to the left and beyond Sherry's chevy, the 30 amp pedestal is on the far side of the site between the two trees:
In the end, we toughed it out in our huge, gorgeous guest suite and are already making plans to return no later than May and that trip will be with the coach, bike and trailer.
