Thanks for the advice. We are sort of debating just heading south, down through the Okanagan Valley, sticking to the route over from I-5. However, it strikes us that there is probably a greater likelihood of snow that way. The other alternative is to go over the Hope-Princeton to the coast, and then head down I-5. We will need to get over toward I-5 at some point, because we are visiting people in Santa Cruz.
It may be that the Hope-Princeton is the best bet. I have driven it in winter before, although nor in an RV. As for the I-5 down to California, we have done that in early February towing a 35’ fifth wheel. We stayed overnight in Weed, and woke up to fresh snow. Since we are not planning to be in any hurry, keeping an eye on the weather makes a lot of sense.
We will do our homework on the likelihood of snow on the various routes, and make sure we are erring on the side of caution.
One question: Does one just look for chains at camping world, or should we look somewhere else. We have a Spartan chassis without a tag axle. Sorry, I did think of another question. We have arranged to have new tires installed before we go, Michelin XZA2 Energy tires. The Michelin web site does not seem to include whether or not their tires are suitable for snow. If anyone knows the answer, we would be grateful.
With luck, we will see some of you on the road, and have the chance to thank you in person.
