Camping In Snow
Hi All, My family and I are looking ahead to next year and planning a ski trip. We are from the South (Houston Area) and we were thinking about going to Ruidoso, NM because we have never camped in...

It attempted to pass me in several corners, and I had to hammer down the gas to pull it back behind. I had no chains on the trailer, but I have good tires.
Exactly..That's the only way but the problem is, most not familiar with it do the opposite which leads to catastrophe.
I have spent days and even up to a week in a pullout at the bottom of a snowy grade waiting for the conditions to improve before tackling the snow covered grade with a large RV.My 35ft Jayco fifth wheel pushed my F-250 around at will on snow.I even had to stay in Boise for tweo weeks to come home as it was a solid snow floor from Boise to here with several grades to climb and more importantly,descend.Going up is usually easy,coming down can get down right scary!
Pickup campers and smaller motor homes are far safer and easier on snowy roads than pulling and getting pushed with a towed unit.
If I was going to camp in the snow with a travel trailer like I do in the summer months,I would own something like a Lance 1685 and my 4X4 and have studs all around(trailer included) with chains for all on board.
It's just dangerous even for the experienced!
