Motorhome trip Toronto-Vancouver in mid-June
Hi there! We intend to make a trip from Toronto to Vancouver with a motorhome and we want it to be only through Canada as we want to see as much of it as possible :) We are new to Canada so I was w...

Hi FULLTIMEWANNABE! You words are music to my ears... This is what I needed to know - that people actually easily find spots to sleepover if necessary and it is safe... All your advice is priceless and I will carefully check all websites and spots you named.
As I said, with 2 small kids I do not try to avoid campgrounds on purpose. I would gladly visit them, especially if they have beautiful scenery, I am not trying to save 30$ ... But at the end - we bought a motorhome - not an RV or trailer - to be independent if we need to be... cause in Europe there is a difference between these types of vehicles. If it is a motorhome, it has a statute of a car and actually you can do whatever you want and you can do with a car - park where cars park, stop anywhere, pass through every city... (some cities in Europe do not let caravans to pass through the city center for example... and with motorhome you don't have that problem)... you are fully packed - you have a kitchen, water, toilet. You need some water from time to time... and somewhere to throw out the toilet, but that can be easily done at every gas station... so my point is here we bought a motorhome without blinking and everyone started telling us - you can't stop everywhere you want, you can't sleep anywhere but at campgrounds, so I got a little bit confused - why did we buy it if every time we need to plan and call for reservations... Again I say - we don't mind CG's, just I want to have another option if I need to. Especially with 2 kids that can brake your drive plan for the day any moment - one of them is a baby... have you tried to drive with a crying baby in the car?? If the baby needs its air, you give it to him... and then you continue. And if these breaks disturb my schedule I need to be independent from campgrounds.
So, again, thank you! I will check how our planning and trip will start and I will pm you if we have time near Calgary. It is so nice to know that going east people in Canada continue to be so awesome and helpful... We have met so many great people for a year in Canada in Toronto. We are sure we will love this country even more after this trip :))
By the way - there is not back route - our trip is one way - Toronto - Vancouver and then we will stay in Vancouver for quite a while. So these 2 weeks are only one way. I think they are enough and without too much hurry we can see some stuff on our way :)
Thanks again!
