I appreciate the video! You proved one thing and highlighted another to me... 1) That putting salt down and melting the ground, while making it slightly muddy, gave you the traction you needed to pull it up the slight hill. 2) While tire chains were not needed, they probably would have worked from the start. But had you thought it would work, putting the salt down while you were still up getting the trailer or on your way back would have probably allowed you to drive right in as well. My luck would have had me put something down under the tires to try and get traction and it would have launched the thing backwards and into the camper! Thanks for the video on how to do it safely!

We did consider putting boards or old carpet under the wheels. We would have done if we were still blocking the road, but the risk of it being thrown out the back was too much when we got it on the drive. Good thinking about putting the salt down before and after. We honestly didn’t think we would have such an issue. Oh well, we live and learn I guess 🤣👍

Tips from a Canadian: you need 4 reel winter tires with spikes when you pull a trailer in winter, when in slipery places likes yours you deflate tires to 20 or 15 pounds for the small distance you have to accomplish. This kind of set up is almost dangerous if you drive on the roads like that, imagine you get caught in a snow storm like this!! Yikes

Hey Subfreak! Yup, the repair was actually planned weeks before, but due to Covid backlogs, they couldn’t get the parts. We were leaving for Florida a few days after this, so didn’t have much choice. Most of the main roads were fine, it was just our rural road and the driveway. We have driven in Ottawa in January and it’s much much worse than this. We don’t envy you guys, that’s for sure!

Assuming you guys have no Chains ? If stuck out with out chains, I have been buying and sticking the Cheap Harbor Freight, Ratchet Straps, Orange, 4 packs, (On Sale $7.99?) in my Lil Hatch Back Car, the Beastly Suburban and the Ford Cargo, Come a Camper Van...(to be again soon a camper...maybe). If stuck you can put one strap on each wheel or if 2 wheel drive, 2 on the 2 drive wheels, strap around rim with the Ratchet Part on the face of the rubber to act a Paddle Wheel, snug them up, and as your wheels turn the Ratchet part 1.5 inches, make traction and move you forward inch by inch. Even if all 4 are then rendered junk after an emergency rescue, it is only $7.99 out of pocket, waiting in a dangerous blind spot or spend for a tow or spending the $4 or $7.99. is an option. This has got me moving more than once, even when I had chains if it was just a quick, get out, The straps are much easier for a quick go. Best ! *We got 4 inches of the wet stuff last night and I had to shovel a bit. Not a fan of the snow myself. More of a Snow Bird I think.

That’s a great idea!!! We’ve never really needed chains and we didn’t plan to have to move the trailer in the snow so we were very unprepared! Although I do think I have some of those ratchet straps in the truck! Luckily power got us off the road after a few attempts, that was my biggest concern as I was blocking the road and there were a few people who patiently waited 😬
