David, where are you headed?  The two years I was there we had a trace snowfall, once, in the two years I was there.  I was south of Nashville.

Looks like we may get an ice storm on Tuesday here, after 3-5 inches of snow on Monday.
Tullahoma not to far from Huntsville Alabama at least that is where we get our television stations from using a antenna. We are about 10 minutes from Tims Ford Lake camp ground. If you go to the tullahomanews.com web site they have pictures of the snow this year about 4" not much but more than South Florida.]]> Sun, 14 Feb 2016 14:17:24 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7295&PID=69913#69913 Chevy traverse TV? : I agree with the EMTs.

A scary thing to be in a white out.  Our driver hadn't been in an accident for 41 years, I think he was a bit overconfident driving in that white out last night.  It could have been a whole lot worse.  My dear wife suffered the most damage receiving an orbital ecchymosis (aka black eye) so as she goes up front to play piano for church tomorrow, I guess I better leave my baseball bat at home.  I was about ready to walk home instead of waiting to get someone to pick us up but the emc's wouldn't allow it under the white out and bitter cold conditions.  They said it would be crazy to walk the 2 miles under white out conditions with wind chill of - 31 F or - 36 C.  So instead we waited inside a cold car for over an hour until we could get someone to bring us home.]]> Sat, 13 Feb 2016 20:21:14 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7295&PID=69896#69896 Chevy traverse TV? : jato, glad you were ok.David,... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7295&PID=69894#69894 Author: techntrek

Yes, that 50+ car pileup was on the news. Unfortunately, all it takes is for one accident to happen in those type of conditions (or dense fog, for that matter) for a chain-reaction pileup to begin. Sorry to hear about your accident Jato.

David, one thing I was told years ago is to drive like there is a raw egg between your foot and the pedals. IOW, don't stomp on either the gas or brake. Allow much more following distance than you would on dry roads, more than you would on wet roads.

Storms around here (central NC) tend to have sleet and/or freezing rain along with the snow. It may start with sleet and finish with snow or start with snow and finish with freezing rain. Either way, the roads are very slick. We are forecast to have snow starting Sunday night and into Monday. How it will turn out remains to be seen.

Exercise caution and avoid driving if you can. In any case, watch out for the loose nuts behind the wheels.

   I am moving to Tennessee in two months this is a reminder how dangerous ice and snow can be. Even though Tennessee is further south from Michigan but it's further north from South Florida where my experience driving during the Winter has been. Never have driven in snow or ice, I will need to learn but thankfully where I am moving there is not much of either during the Winter nothing like Michigan. I was just reading about the over 50 vehicle pile up on I-78 in  Pennsylvania.]]> Sat, 13 Feb 2016 17:20:31 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7295&PID=69884#69884 Chevy traverse TV? : Don't know about using a... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7295&PID=69882#69882 Author: jato

Don't know about using a Traverse for towing but know about what they look like after getting hit.  Involved in a 3 vehicle accident last night, white out conditions.  Traverse was stopped on the road because they couldn't see.  Apparently the driver of a Dodge 3/4 ton pu could but rear ended the Traverse pushing it nearly sideways in the road.  Then we came with our neighbor (he was driving) driving a 99 Cadillac, sideswiped the Traverse by driver door and front left quarter panel, bounced off that and then rear ended or shall I say, nearly went under the Dodge Ram pu.  What a mess!  Traverse (2015) barely good enough to go to the boneyard, hardly tell what kind of car it was, back window, driver side windows blown out, windshield cracked.  No back end left as tail -lights and rear hatch door/pulverized.   Dodge ram will need front grill and headlights, rear bumper has a small ding in it.  Cadillac, well, I don't think it is repairable, will find out from the insurance guy Monday.  But with it being that old, parts become an issue. Fortunately no one had to go to hospital except for the driver and passenger of the Traverse.  Didn't find out how serious injuries were.

I'll be towing a 2016 178 with a 2010 GMC Terrain with tow package.  Rated at 3500 lbs. Hopefully no issues.   (I'm a new R-pod...er)

Now towing with a 2017 Chevy Traverse 👍🏻 with tow package.

We tow our 178 with a Traverse with tow package etc. Rated 5200 lbs.
No issues, even on NY Adirondack hills. Just don't drive in 'D'. Drive in 'L' in an appropriate gear.
Cheers,

You should be ok. Might labor a bit when hitting hilly terrain.  Keep in mind you will be loading up supplies which adds to your total combined weight.

I took a quick look at the towing capacity of a Traverse. Looks like only 2000lbs. Probably not a suitable TV.  Look in the manual that came with your vehicle. Should confirm towing capacity along with tonge weight capacity.]]> Sun, 20 Dec 2015 16:29:45 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7295&PID=68435#68435 Chevy traverse TV? : Sorry, I know nothing about a... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7295&PID=68434#68434 Author: Kickstart

Sorry, I know nothing about a traverse. But---I've been married for 51 years, and taught school for 33 years. I do know about commitment AND frustration. Therefore I too am a Cubs fan!
