Interesting reading the borders are “closed” with so many Canadian snow birds here in central Fl.
There's a surprising number of Canadians who (illegally) leave their RV in the US and just fly or drive back and forth.
My sister and my BIL did exactly that for many years, until a sharp customs officer asked them where they were going to be staying and they answered that they had a Canadian RV permanently parked in the US.
Ooooops.
They were told in no uncertain terms that it had to leave in the spring when they did.
nothing illegal about it, so not sure why a customs officer would say that. its no different than owning a house or renting a permanant holliday spot in the US. is it the smartest thing to do givent the pandemic maybe not but there are no laws being broken. the only one would maybe be them being in the US more than the max number of days which they track easier when you fly, but that doesnt mean you have to move your rv.

If the R V was purchased in Canada you would have to import and register it or bring it back. If it was purchased in the U S it could remain. Lots of people do leave them but!!!
