It can be done in 30 days! However you will have to be more selective in your stops.Of course more time, a lot more would be better. You have to remember that a lot of folks on this forum are retired and have a lot of time to travel, unlike someone is coming from another country.
If this were me, and I had never been to Canada before, these would be my thoughts.
Starting at Halifax, I would spend a day there and leave the next day by heading EAST! I have never been to Nova Scotia, but from what I've heard I would head to Cape Breton to get more of the Gaelic feel, which may not be that apparent in a city like Halifax. I stand to be corrected by the Maritimers here.
Then head west. Spend at least a day in Quebec City, very quaint and picturesque. You can camp on the other side of the river & then walk on the ferry to do a walk around of the old walled city.
You've seen Quebec City, so you can miss Montreal.
Now Toronto, mmm? It's a really big (5th biggest in North America) clean, very cosmopolitan city. You could go there and go up the CN Tower, but I wouldn't! You'll be seeing Vancouver and while nowhere near as big, it has a much more scenic location.
Niagara Falls, mmm? yes spend a full day there but only if you do more than LOOK at the Falls. Take the trip on the Maid of the Mist, take a jetboat ride, take the kids? to the attractions on Clifton? Hill.
Here's a thought, I know its a Canada trip, but if you don't have any problems with visas and Medical Insurace, after you have driven past or through Montreal, drop across the border and travel on the south side of the lake and enter Canada again at Niagara Falls. It's not that far but you would see a couple of US cities and some nice countryside. Then at Niagara, you could just park for a while, look at the Falls and then head north again through Toronto. This way you dont have to drive down from Toronto and back again. While driving through Toronto, you can decide whether you want to stay there. If not, you will see the CN Tower out of your RV window.
