Transporting RVs from Indiana to Alberta and British Columbia, I always use Portal, ND/North Portal, SK. I would over night in Minot, ND and drive to Portal then Estevan, Weyburn, Moose Jaw and finally Saskatoon. Then hit highway 16 (Yellowhead) to Edmonton, AB. Portal is always quick (Emmerson, MB/Pembina, ND was a real pain in the rear to cross either way), the roads are good for the most part, no potholes just a section of highway with some frost heaves, between Weyburn and Moose Jaw(just did a trip a few days ago so road condition report is current). Continuing through Edmonton to Jasper can be fun as Edmonton is currently building a "ring road" and the construction area can be congested and confusing re-routing for those that are not familiar with the area. Once you get past the eastern section of the ring road, going west through the city is easy. Staying on the Yellowhead Hwy 16 that is. Driving from Minot, ND to Edmonton, AB takes me approx. 12hrs with a stop here and there for coffee/meals. Edmonton to Jasper approx. 4hrs.
*** NOTE *** Some of the railroad crossings in both North Dakota and Saskatchewan are rough, slow down when crossing the tracks! Unless you like re-arranging the contents of your RV! :(
