My comment about difficulty with propane came from first hand information from CANADIAN friends who drove cross Canada last summer. They found it was easy to find for smaller portable tanks but they encountered issues with their 33' RV and finding accessible propane.
To those who tried to provide me answers,thank you!
As to the availability of services generally in Canada the point to remember is size.
Canada is physically larger than the continental US is, yet there are more people in the combined Los Angeles and New York areas than there is in all of Canada. Add to that far more than half the population of the country lives in urban centres, in fact more than 1/3rd live in just Ontario, and you end up with a LOT of very sparsely populated countryside.
In other words look to highway truck stops and country stores - the carry scads of products and have a nice large fuel bay with a propane set up for trade of containers. Otherwise, re. propane, I've seen many an propane source, both trade and actual refill at the area Canadian Tire. Or saved CT $ for years for my cross continent trip. In the end didn't use those $ for fuel, but for oil change, fluid level checks, and other repairs in mid trip.
