RS Welcome,
It is nice to see someone else from Ontario here.
Where as in how far north in Canada are you travelling in the summer?
Are you planning on provincial parks?
Are you planning on camping crown land?
Will you be heading down logging roads?
As to what you need and what you want will be a personal choice. I could tell you what a female would like in a RV but that may not help you, LOL
If you are summer camping you will not need a 4 season. However, this year in August the heat went on in the TT that was Timmins, I have camped in the rockies in July and woke to 6 inches of snow, LOl but still was fine in a tent. Usually holidays are in Sept and no further south than Chapleau. Still you will not need a 4 season.
If you are planning on northern Ontario you don't want to be over 30'. Ours is 27' then add another 4 for the hitch etc. We are limited in some areas to the number of choices for sites. We never have had a bad one. The parks can handle over 32' but you may not have the most secluded site. Our parks are not like our southern friends with cement pads. I think they are a little more rustic here, LOL
Also remember that once you get a little north distance to town, shops or points of interest may be a drive from the camp ground, so you may want to think TT so you are not having to take a motor home everywhere. We have been glad that we chose TT over a lge motor home. There are places we have been that it is a 6 hour drive to the closest store/gas etc.
We looked at almost every RV dealer from Orillia south. There are a few that we did not like, the dealers not product, including where we bought ours.
Some say your relationship with the dealer is somewhat like marriage.
You don't know what you have until it is too late.
It is either the perfect match, or a deal you wish you had never made.
Good luck, if we can help at all just ask!
