RE: 2018 Tour - ccjohnson - 04-27-2018

Stopped at Lake Louise years ago when I was coming back home from a job in Pine Point, NWT. It was BEAUTIFUL! Wish we had been able to spend more time there.

RE: 2018 Tour - smquandt - 06-04-2018

Should still be parked in site #45 when get to Gig Harbor WA.  Word of caution coming in, there is a dip and up hill grade in the entry and you will most likely drag the rear end.

RE: 2018 Tour - edkunkel - 11-12-2018

I have read elsewhere that Canada weighs motorhomes and trucks "on the fly". Is this something to be concerned about?

RE: 2018 Tour - Richard - 11-13-2018

Eric,

I don't know what you mean by on the fly. If you mean while rolling, that wouldn't be any different than the states.

My best recollection was that we were exempted from going into the chicken coops in Canada, just like in the US.

A nice feature that I found at some of the Canadian weigh stations, was that the scales are open, even when they aren't staffed. I used that to get a free weight check. Just to confirm previous weights for the coach.
