since 2006 ( I think ! )
After getting caught out, if I even THINK it might be a bit boggy I walk it first and prod about a bit with my trusty steel tipped umbrella !

If it is iffy then I put the mats down and drive straight on them..

You can use mats/bread crates for traction. When parking up in iffy weather, use your levelling ramps well......if you level off in the direction you will be leaving in by backing onto the ramps, they will offer a little bit of initial momentum - which is the point where you are more likely to slip.

Make sure you have everything stowed, roll off them and keep going - you can leave your other half to grab the ramps - or if you are crafty, attach a peice of cord to the back of the ramps, and hook the to your towing eye, so when you leave, they get dragged along behind until you get to firmer ground. lol!

i drive a rear wheel drive motorhome with 3 tons over the twin rear wheels,

i ease the clutch up in 2nd gear at idle, and dont add any revs untill i am sure i've got enough momentum to keep me going if she slips a bit.
