Was out to the Maritimes in October 2017 in a 27' Sunstar pulling a Wrangler. There were some places where the roads were a little tight, but we never got stuck anywhere. I would say the 10X highways are typically big enough for larger motorhomes and toweds.
A word of caution about Walmart parking in Gaspe - the ones we used to park in for supplies and overnight parking are now signed "RV Parking from 23:00 to 06:00 only". So the relentless use of them like public or commercial campgrounds over the years has finally drawn the ire of the municipalities and probably the Walmart management, too. You can park there outside of those times, but you may be challenged, or asked to move on if you drop the motorhome and detach your towed.
We were surprised and amused when we saw the signage, but completely understand the motivation leading up to it. We saw BBQs, folding chairs, slides and awnings fully deployed, propane firepits, TVs set up outside, you name it, someone was doing it in the Walmart parking lot. Years of abuse of privilege have led to prohibition.
