Thanks for replys! Is there anything I should know about doing the border cross?

Be courteous, answer the questions asked truthfully and fully (but succinctly), and generally you'll have no trouble if you aren't trying to do something nefarious. They may search your vehicle and RV, sometimes just because of random chance.

Know (or at least look up) the relevant laws, particularly with regard to weapons if you'll be bringing any of them. Handguns would not be permitted. Long guns, very generally speaking, can be brought into Canada but require proper documentation (in advance).

The requirements for other things (e.g. pets) are not hard to come by and not generally onerous.

Food prohibitions vary rather frequently, and I think it's best to expect you may have to turn over some veggies and not worry about it beyond that. Meat that isn't in the original packaging is also often troublesome.

You may have to pay duty on excess alcohol, but you can apply to get it refunded for unconsumed quantities when leaving Canada.
