Weapon storage before entering Canada

I have a 17 state CCW and usually travel with a weapon in the TT. Plan on taking a cross country trip next summer and at some point (probably Vancouver) crossing into Canada. I know I can't carry a weapon into Canada. Is there anywhere where you can rent a storage locker or something similar for a weekly fee to store a weapon before entering Canada? Has anyone ever done this or heard of it?

    Actually, we are not required to license guns or ourselves. Either way, we are not planning to drive through there for at least a year, so I am just doing research right now.


    We have crossed the US-Canadian border several times with our MH. I can only remember once when a customs officer did not enter our MH.

    We have however never had our MH actually searched more than checking the fridge.

    No need to knock on wood if you have nothing to hide.

    Throughout the summer season we cross 2-3 times a week. We use Nexus cards but even with those we sometimes get 'audited' with a complete search; sometimes with the rv and sometimes without. They check a random number of vehicles. The border agents on both sides will go through everything then just send us on our way.
