Seeking Advice on Atlantic Provinces Trip

We did NL in 2015 with the icebergs as the main attraction.

Nothing much is getting open before the beginning of June. We went across at the very end of May. Made ferry reservations a few days before but the boat was not even half full. No reservations at CGs anywhere except St John's, & it was 3rd week of June by that point. Return ferry ride was about 2/3rd full.

Wonderful trip. The people could not be nicer, even if you can't hardly understand their version of English. The dialect is tougher than the back hills of TN.

Would we go back? Don't know. It does have that northern remote feeling like the Yukon & it does get dark in June. NL is not that far north. Only about same latitude as Calgary. If you listen to the warnings you would think that moose on the roads are as common as jaywalkers in NY. We saw very few.

They DO have potholes that will rival anything seen anywhere else. Big enough to swallow a full sized SUV. We were very careful yet managed to break two spring leaves which led to Newfie helpfulness of equally epic proportions to get replacements & repairs made.

Enjoy the trip. Enjoy the tattoo. There is also a huge music festival in Canso first week of July if you like sitting out in rain, drizzle, fog & wind in 40 something degree weather.

Little Kopit has offered some good advice.
We have visited the Maritimes & Newfoundland & Labrador several times.
The first few times we had our Lance truck camper so parking and getting around were not a problem.
On our last trip we had our M.H. and towed with us. We were exploring the Gaspe and two places of interest were inaccessible to us because of our length and parking facilities. One spot was a museum of particular interest and after realizing we could not enter the parking area, we decided to turn around and go back and check parking on the far side of the museum. Well 20 miles later, we were still looking for a place to turn around - so we never did get to the museum. It did not make sense to go to the c.g. and then backtrack in the towed. Only you can decide on whether to day trip in only the towed or not.

We now have a B+ unit that is really convenient for touring. Depending on the trip and purpose, we don't always take a towed. It sure is nice to have, but certainly not a necessity with driving a short unit.

You will enjoy the Maritimes - good to see you have alotted lots of time for your trip - you won't regret it.

B) Go to NL in mid May. Some years many of the icebergs are gone, gone, gone by early June. Other years they are going by NL all June. You never know what kind of a year it is.

BTW, lived in NL for 24.5 years retiring in 2008.

Ferries have changed since then. You can do lots of logging roads as well as paved roads. Road repairs from winter go on mostly in July.

You will want to return, especially to do at least 2 weeks in Labrador.

Quebec, check on when the construction workers holiday 2 weeks is. Often it is 1st 2 weeks in August. Other years it is last week of July and 1st week of August. All construction workers are on holiday those 2 weeks.

New Brunswick and Maine. One can drive to Campobello Island. There is a ferry from there to Deer Island, then to Grand Mannan Island. I've done Campobello and Grand Mannan. & used to own land near Lubec, ME.

The Maritimes is NB, NS, & PEI. Atlantic Canada is those 3 plus NL.

Take Ferry to PEI and bridge from. You pay when you leave. The ferry costs a lot more than the bridge.

Have you checked the tourism sites for each province?

More if you want it.

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.
