Hello,
We are from Miami, FL. and are thinking of either taking a road trip from Miami or flying to Canada and renting either a Class C or B. We currently own a 2006 28ft Travel Trailer however I feel it would be too much to pull it so far. We plan on going sometime June 2009 when school is out. My questions are the following:
1. Is NE Canada RV friendly?
2. Do you think a Class B will give us more maneuvering capabilities?
3. Any recommendations as to which companies are best for rental in the Montreal or Quebec area?
4. Any camp site recommendations that would allow us to enjoy nature, and still be able to take in some of the local cities?
I apologize for the length of the posting; your valuable input is appreciated.
Thank you,

I will start the discussion off, by saying that Canada is RV friendly. This site should provide you with a start on your planning. Gorving I am sure others will join in and if you have specific questions please post them.

I would think that there is lots and lots of things to do in just those two provinces. I know rvs can be rented in Montreal.
What time of the year do you have in mind?

We've been all over eastern Canada in a 45 footer. Look at Camping Alouette just outside of Montreal, Killbear on Georgian Bay,and Camping Transit near Quebec City. I would also look at going to Nova Scotia and PEI.

I can provide some input on where to stay and what to do if I knew how much time you were planning to spend in Canada.

All of Canada is rv friendly - at least where there are roads. Two questions, Ramon:
How many people are going?
How much time do you have?
a) Under the best of circumstances, it's a three day drive from Miami to Montreal;
b) It maybe cheaper to fly/drive than drive/drive;
c) There are plenty of things to see and do in Canada;

For what it's worth, I can fully endorse both Camping Alouette and Camping transit.

We spent a couple of nights at the Oka Campground. It's west of Montreal and a lovely spot with hook-ups. Right on the lake and just beautiful. It's an easy drive from there to downtown Montreal if you want to explore the city.
We also used to camp at a campground on the south shore of Montreal Island at a place called St. Luc. It's about 15 miles to the Mercier Bridge and then once you cross the bridge it's a quick trip to downtown. I assume it's still there. It was a great place to camp too.
Hope this helps some.

You could easily spend a month or two in the maritime provinces - New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. We spent almost two months there this summer and still wanted to see more. I'd be happy to list the highlights of our trip.
If you enjoy exploring cities you could also make a loop through Toronto, ON, Ottawa ON, Montreal QC and Quebec city. It all depends what you like to do.
Come and enjoy!

Wow, great information provided. I thank you. I will review some of the posts and answer the follow up questions. I apologize for not keeping up. We have been on and off again with Hurricane preparations so it has been a little while since I logged in. Now we are on stanby for IKE.
thank you.
