Travelling back and forth

There is a plan that we are working on to go from Sudbury, ON Canada to Florida for a week in the middle of next winter. There are several things I am wondering:

1) Unwinterizing and winterizing is going to have to be done along the way. Anyone have tips on making this a seamless thing?

2) How annoying are the 2 border patrols? Have you seen them really search an RV or not?

3)Buying food. Can I bring stuff from Canada without issues? Can I bring stuff back to Canada without issues?

As far as reservations... Absolutely!
