Thank you for all the responses. I almost forgot I had already posted this question as I have it on my list to do. I will print out all this info.
For reservations, except for Canadian holidays, will be able to make reservations the day before or the morning of when we need a spot? This worked for us last spring all across US except for Wash DC.
We would like to have a little more freedom to spend as much time as we want seeing whats along our way or nearby w/o having to always rush to get to our next spot. We will use a wheel approach at he major NPs to find a spot for several days and use suv to travel to anything close (50-100 miles) It would be nice to not have to drive back and forth 50 miles or so just to get back into the parks each day.
Does the Ca annual park pass give a discount in camping fees too or just entry?
Can we use our generator in parks w/o hookups during daytime hours and in early evenings? We haven't camped much with the MH w/o hookups. We do have battery powered lanterns, bbq, campstove, etc if we need to go that way, which is fine as tradeoff for better scenery.
We were just worried about getting into park CG's and sites having never seen them, especially when you can't back up!!!
Most of the major roads from Waterton Lakes up to Baniff, and Jasper, the Icefeilds, are all a go for our 38ft plus towed car?
Again I appreciate all help that those who have done this with Class A or who are residents along the way provide.
