Seriously Leda, if you want to actually see anything at all and enjoy yourself with your children you should reconsider. Just seeing the best parts of British Columbia can take two weeks easily, maybe even three, and you will get amazing scenery, mountains, lakes, rivers, glaciers, orchards, and oceans too. Some people take a month just to enjoy Vancouver Island at a slow and leisurely pace, and that is just perfect timing too. I live here, and know quite a lot about it and it's hidden gems.
Most of Canada's campgrounds are set in spectacular scenery, and to even think you want to boondock instead of paying the price to enjoy the benefit is defeating the entire reason you want to travel to Canada for.
If you actually can, fly to Vancouver, rent your motorhome here, put 1400 miles on it instead of 4500 or more to see Canada, and enjoy this beautiful province in it's finery for the two weeks you have. So many places to see, but you must register, get set up in camp, have a meal, plan a hike for the next day in the park, have another night, then pack up and move to the next spot over a half day enjoying roadside pullouts, historic stops and scenic outlooks over the next 150 miles and repeat.
Our best travel days are on the road about 9:30, then into a new camp spot before 2, earlier if possible. Enjoy a scenic walk, then relax into dinners and family.
