The pop-top campers are the best because they have
more weight. I proved this on a road with 2 feet of
snow and rear chains. A neigbor's passenger Vanagon,
chained up, could not budge.
I plowed the road. The extra thousand pounds that a
camper has makes a difference.
I also drove 80 miles that day going 25 mph. As long
as you keep it slow , the Vanagon does better.
In places where everyone drives 60 with studded tires
and compact snow, I don't know. It doesn'nt snow much
around here to drive like that.
