Possible? Certainly.
Safe? Until the slide begins, yes.
For me, the motorhome is parked until snow and ice are no longer an issue.
Once upon a time, we towed a custom Jeep Wrangler behind a Jeep Grand Cherokee over a snowy mountain pass. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the entire combination made a slow 360 degree circle, and stopped in a snow bank. There was no damage, so we very carefully drove out of the snow and proceeded on our way. THAT was an experience I never want to repeat!
Way different than a MH towing a Toad! You didn’t mention the years of the units, but even in the late 70’s when the Grand Cherokee was a larger vehicle that would still not much larger than the Jeep Wrangler. Did the Wrangler have it’s brakes activated by the Cherokee?
