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.
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?

Not at all, and a BIG part of the confusion.
RIV administers the Federal VEHICLE safety Standards, the 'driving' portion of a motorhome.
Life Safety, I.e. electrical, gas, electric, smoke and propane detectors are PROVINCIAL jurisdictions.
The problem is there is no mandatory inspection for those items.
But to demonstrate, here's an extract from a 2015 Suburban RV furnace manual;
"In Canada, the furnace must be installed in accordance with:
1. Standard CSA Z240.0.2-08 Recreational Vehicles.
2. CSA Standard Z240.6.2-08 C22.2 NO.148-08 Electrical Requirements for
Recreational Vehicles.
3. Standard Z240.4.2-08 Installation Requirements for Propane Appliances and
Equipment in Recreational Vehicles.
4. CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes.
5. Any applicable local codes and regulations."
