RVs typically don't have chains or snow tires so naturally they're not going to handle the same way as your car/truck will in the snow/ice. We had a 5th wheel and left Arizona too early one spring. We got into a snowstorm in Idaho with no place to pull off. It was not fun driving 20mph.
As others have said, watch the weather forecast and pick two or three clear days to begin your trip until you're out of the snow areas.
