Ice conditions

How stable are these motorhomes on some patches of ice like overpasses with a toad

That’s a loaded question.....

ANY vehicle can become unstable on ice. Your best chances are not to make ANY changes to your speed.....up or down, and not to change your steering direction either.

Parked or constant is your safest bet.

And don't apply your brakes if you hit ice!

I drove from Anchorage to Tucson in January. Ice driving is not a problem if you have experience driving on it.

Why chance it? You are driving your house. Stop until the roads are clear. I have seen to many "professional drivers" rolled over in the middle of the road or on the side of the road.
