Like most generalizations, there are usually exceptions. Just because something is in your personal motorhome does not mean you can take it between the two countries. There are prohibited items, such as handguns, items that have set limits, such as booze and tobacco, etc.

Border agents have wide powers to make decisions on the spot as to what is allowed and who is allowed. Just check the rules ahead of time and try to follow them. The worst that will happen is you may lose some food items or have to pay some duty if over on alcohol but there is a limit that you have to stay under or you need an importers license. Bear spray is another item that doesn't matter if it is for personal use and in your personal motorhome, make sure you follow the rules of the day on crossing the border with pepper spray.
Illegal, prohibited or restricted items can put a traveler in the cross bars hotel, with 3 hots and a cot, compliments of the government.
