Funny that this topic stays alive...no, you do not require any sort of paperwork to prove your vehicle insurance. There used to be, yes...in fact most companies no longer issue such things.
You want passports for all in the RV. Not so much to enter Canada but for sure to return to the US. Yes, pets require rabies certs..for returning as well.
If you own own any weapons? leave them and all gun related stuff at home. Ammo, clips, holsters. You are allowed to have those items but having them with you raises the alert levels and they will look for the guns that match those items, really hard.
Do ensure that you have out-of-country medical insurance. It is a difficult question to get answered properly. You just need to know you are covered...you would pay costs up front and apply for reimbursement.
There are always changing rules on what you can and cannot have with you regarding foods. The 100% easiest way is to have nothing in your fridge in the way of fruits and veggies. No onion or garlic..no apples. This applies to your return as well. Less is best.
You are allowed one liter of likker or 1 doz beer per person..either way. A carton of smokes too.
If anyone in the party has a criminal record they will not be allowed entry. If someone has a past history and is unsure, a phone call to the closest crossing will confirm what is what.
Canadian costs are higher. Higher fuel, higher alcohol. Food costs are pretty much the same.
Don't bother getting Canadian money prior to crossing because you will pay fees you have no need to. Once across, go to a banks ATM and get a couple hundred bucks. Bearing in mind, the current exchange rate is very much in favour of the US greenback.
Once you have crossed over and driving down the roads? You will be hard pressed to see any difference between the US and Canada..unless you enter Quebec of course. Canada is a bi-lingual country and folks in Quebec are proudly French.
