A couple of things that can be helpful in Canada: a grasp of how long a kilometer is in relationship to a mile; how fast kph is vs mph (most cars will happily switch to a metric system); and a rudimentary grasp of the French Language (or a good translation app). The road signs will be English/French; but if you don't recognize "Boulangerie" as being French for "bakery" - you might miss out on some incredible treats!!
Also - if you are heading east into Nova Scotia, you will drive through areas that are strongly Scottish. Take a few minutes to read any brochures you might pick up, they will explain how the roads are named - it's all very logical even if you can't pronounce the names....LOL!
We generally stayed in private RV parks in our many travels into Canada, and I don't remember having a hard time finding a space for an overnight.
We LOVE traveling through Canada - it's a beautiful country and the people are wonderful!
