Driving in snow
We have driven in snow...take your time and keep your speed
reasonalble...no anti-lock brakes on these tanks. My biggest
challenges have been ice on ramps and turnoffs, watch for that, as
well as concealed soft terrain...be very careful if going off
pavement...might be frozen only on the very top, quaigmire below.
Also due to keeping the bus closed up you may find a lot of mostiure
in the cabin...and your windshield defroster may be weak...we got anti-
fogging wipes - they work great for the windshield.
