dually 2 wheel drive in snow with TC on
My question is how well does a 1 ton dually do in the snow with the truck camper on. Talking a 4k camper. I all ready know they do terrible unloaded as does any pickup. Just wondering with TC on. ...

I have the 4:10 limited slip rear end in mine. I go boondock camping with a bunch of people who have motorhomes and we all tow Jeeps.
I can say that when it snows, I'm the one that gets to test the road because I have 4x4 (or 4x6 if you wanna call it that). I get sent up the road and if I can make in it 2-wheel drive, we send the motorhomes up. If I need 4x4, we find somewhere else to set up camp.
There have been several times where I can get up the road in 2-wheel drive, and motorhomes still get stuck because they don't have a Limited Slip rear end. If you do get a 2WD, make sure it has the limited slip rear end, or add it later if you're worried about it.
If you really want to be a rockstar, add an ARB locker to the rear. That's what most of our Jeeps have. You add a locker and air down your tires, you'll go places that a normal 2WD can't, bordering on what 4x4's do.
