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?

Crossing the border is no big deal. Just know the rules, be polite, talk only when asked a question and keep it short and you'll be on your way.
I think sometimes they get bored and pull you over just for something new to do. :)
The only time we got pulled over was because they asked if we had bear spray and we fessed up to having a dog repellant spray used when biking. They asked to see the container and weren't sure if it was 'legal'. We pulled over and went inside and they again checked the container label. They found it was not mfg. in Canada and said very politely, "sorry, we'll have to take this". It was no big deal to us. They are particular about bear sprays and it's best to buy it in Canada if you think you need it. We don't think it's needed.
