While at least one person, usually from Manitoba, will argue the point, to be legal and not risk the loss of insurance coverage or being able to get it serviced at an Ontario repair facility you will need to bring it into compliance with CSA Z240 standards if it's not already so.
Dealers have to bring them up to spec all the time so it can't be too hard or costly. I'm aware of the argument from Manitoba but CSA Z240 seems to apply mainly to manufactured homes/modular homes.
Canadian Tire is the only shop currently certifying motorhomes (scary isn't it). I also know that apparently the circuit breakers need to be 15 amp vice 20 amp but haven't found that in writing yet.
Also referring to the CRVA site, CSA Z204 only covers manufacturing of new RVs. NFPA 1192 applies to recreational vehicle standards and inspection and you need to buy a copy. I believe it is this standard that Canadian Tire certifies?
thanks for the feedback, I'll continue to do research.
Just came across the following
"Before you import a vehicle, you should also contact the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV). The RIV is an agency contracted by Transport Canada to administer a national program to ensure that imported vehicles are brought into compliance with Canada’s safety standards."
So if it meets RIV standards it should meet all other standards??
Get murky:?
