Newbie driving across Canada needs advice

Hotels have pools,usually continental breakfast,no extra over size ferry fees,park anywhere,take a good look at your road,there are numerous places tha have hotels,not a baron no mans land.Get a membership to a hotel chain and save another 10%,you can probably do it for less the $75.00 a night.You can buy a tent and some basic camping gear for the odd night if that floats your boat,$500.00 will more then cover that,no room put a pod on the Mazda,loose a little gas though.You can't tow you car 4 wheels down so if you decide to buy a Rv and tow it look for at least another expense of around $2000.00 to buy and pull a dolly or conversion hitch,brakes etc.Think of it this way.Nightly camping fees may average $35.00,hotels are probably another $45/50 a night.That difference won't even pay for your fuel costs alone per day getting 8mpg.in a class C versus at least 35 mpg in the car.Have fun on your trip.
