Driving in snow
Have read the other comments gardner and the FC models do NOT drive
like a school bus. Big difference in the suspension and the weight
distribution. My 1982 FC 35 for instance had 265 gallons of fuel over
the rear wheels in addition to a lot of other stuff distributed
throughout the coach. I travelled in some really nasty weather one
winter thru Pennsylvannia, trucks in the ditch, really really bad. I
was amazed at how well it not only drove but never slipped a wheel.
Finally stopped at a Walmart, closed up and slept as snug as bugs in
a rug all night. Next day just kept on going.

Amazing machines and nothing in my opinion to worry about.
