Crossing border into U.S. from Vancouver with 39' MH

We're planning to cross into the U.S. from Vancouver, B.C. with our 39' motorhome towing our car. We wish to use our Nexus cards. I've noticed several posts indicating that the border crossing points in the Vancouver area can apparently be quite challenging due to narrow lanes and other reasons. Wondering if someone who has made the crossing lately would share their experiences as to what the best crossing points are for larger size motorhomes?

    We have crossed the border at Sumas going north and south towing a 34' fifth wheel and in a 34' motorhome with toad. We were very careful and moved slowly and had no problems at all.

    Yes, they seem narrow but they are over 10 foot. I would not cross at some of the locations do to the heavy volume of traffic.
    Peace Arch on Can 99 US I-5 is very busy.
    The truck Route WA 543 or Can 15 is a little better.
    Farther east Can 13 or WA 539 is better.
    Even farther east Can 11 WA 9 is nice.
