It was true. Better check real good. I’ve never used mine, but have for winter Alcan travel.
Here is the link for RV requirements in BC.
Winter RV requirements
Before 2019, BC didn’t require chains on any passenger vehicle including RV’s. They do recommend chains, however it is not now or was it a requirement.
In 2018/19 BC changed the dates on most Hwys in BC of when you’re not required to have winter tires on your vehicles. They had a really poor roll-out and it was not very well advertised. They didn’t even change even the picture you see on their website which shows the three Hwy signs, with the winter tire requirement dates, until after a bunch of us pointed out their blunder.

These are the New Hwy signs below.

Below is the old signs on the website. I took that screen shot in February of 2019, after they had changed the dates to end of April.
