RV travel to Canada
Is it automatic that an RV will be stopped & searched when entering Canada? Is this something that I should allow time for?

In a nutshell, you can be through customs/border questioning in 30 seconds or 3 hours.
I have been known to think a lot of it has to do with what has previously been decided, 'x number/percentage will be examined very carefully today'.
& I remember when I was youngish (under 30) trying to persuade folks with me to dress 'middle class' careful, rather that fashionably comfy. If I didn't succeed in my persuasion it would take us awhile to cross the border.
& yes, I have had a more thorough search when traveling on my own. Yet, the day when I came back into Canada with my newly purchased made for me truck camper and answered "Did you buy anything?" by reaching back and patting the camper, I just went inside, showed my papers and paid my GST, then was off on my way in about 5 minutes. Of course, entering the US, I had answered the question, "what is the purpose of your trip". "To purchase a truck camper which is waiting for me." They could have put that in the computer file.
