    I love a conspiracy theory, but even I'm missing what you're seeing :)


    I think this used to be a multi-page thread until earlier today.

    No, not to my knowledge, this thread hasn't been touched; you must be thinking of another one.

    My humblest of apologies to all of the mod's if I insinuated an insidious innuendo.

    The correct address is www.riv.ca

    http://www.riv.ca/

    The RIV sire refers one to the Transport Canada listing of importable vehicles that posted in an earlier post to this thread. RIV is the entity that administers the importation process.

    RV's are a special case.

    RIV will tell you what VEHICLES are admissible to Canada.

    However, propane and electrical systems are covered by Provincial law that the Fed's don't concern themselves with. Even when you license the vehicle with the various Provincial Transportation folks all they are concerned with is again, the vehicle portion.

    There is no mechanism to check compliance with vita life safety regulations.

    Several Provinces do have laws making it illegal to own, rent or sell a non-compliant RV, but it seems that enforcement is only upon compliant, there is no pro-active enforcement.

  • With the Canuck buck in the toilet, is anybody even looking in the States anymore? As good a deal as ours was, the exchange now would certainly have killed it.
