Moving from SC to MA in the winter towing TT

I will be moving to MA from SC early to mid December. Even though I'm lusting after a Winnebego Minnie, I have a 16' 2013 Starcraft AR-one and am pulling it with a Chevy Silverado. I'm not very experienced in driving in the snow (being from southern CA and all) and will be travelling with two young kiddos and two cats.

I'd like to save money and live out of the camper on the way up there. Driving more slowly is a given for safety but beyond that I'm here to mine your collective wisdom on tips, tricks and advice on staying safe and keeping us more comfortable on the trip.

Have you found a place to store the Starcraft in MA and is there any storage cost associated with it? If you need off site storage will any be available in December? Is the cost of storing in MA higher than that in SC? These are all questions you need to answer for self in order to decide if this plan will really save you money or if you should just sell the Starcraft and use the funds as you choose at a later date. It's not like you are going to get much more use of it until the spring and you've already expressed interest in the Winebago.

Finally, most campgrounds still open up North are going to charge a minimum of 70 bucks per night. For 2 nights that will be about 160.00 including taxes. Have you compared the motel costs for your route?
