Would you pick up new camper in snow???

We bought our TT during a “winter sale” just before Christmas. The area dealers were moving inventory for the new models. When we picked it up a few days later, it was squeaky clean in his heated service bay. :) We drove it home about 35 miles at the start of what was to be one of many Indiana snow storms.

Our original plan was to do a few dry camp trips at the local State Parks before heading south. That sure did not happen. :( We are finally leaving in a week or so for a trip to the sunny south.

Bottom line, unless you need it I would let it sit; provided it is still covered by insurance etc.

We are scheduled to pick up our new Keystone Hideout 280 LHS tomorrow in Iowa. It is a 3 hour drive for us. We have snow on ground and I'm sure they do too. Expecting between 1 - 2 inches tonight and tomorrow.

Would you make the trip? This is not our first camper so we have experience driving campers, just not in snow or wintry weather, or ice.

Really want to pick her up but..... really don't want to wreck with a brand new camper. Honest answers please. Would you or wouldn't you???

Thank you.

Your warranty starts the day you pick it up. You're likely not going camping in this type of weather, so make your warranty work for you. Good luck with the new rig and enjoy the time you're out in it.

With the kind of terrain you are looking at, I wouldn't be too concerned. However, like Flyfisherman and others, I wouldn't want to coat the underbody and sides of my brand new camper with road salt, chemicals, and grime. I don't think I'd let it sit on the dealer's lot for months, since there is no telling what they might do to it, but I would wait until the roads are dry.
