There's also a differant learning curve with vanagons then many other
VWs

after a few driving sessions in the snow then 4" won't stop you as
easily.

that and good tires with a little underinflated squish..
I run my tires in the 30s for heavy snow and back up once the roads are
dry and going to stay that way..

it takes a bit more mental effort to keep on top of it. but aired down
tires have A_LOT more traction then inflated to the max ones.

food for thought..

this year)

Hi
I have heard it before. Some have no trouble in the snow. What's the
secret?
I am completely stuck in nearly no snow. 4 inches last night to be
precise.
I shovel, I use salt, kitty litter and well I get stuck in the street.
help.
