The longest (time wise) crossing we've had was at Sweetgrass, Montana. The US side was visually searching every vehicle. We were told that they were looking for a terrorist.
We have been searched a number of times, both going into Canada and reentering the US. Our first ever crossing was at Jackman, Maine (Armstrong, Quebec). We were searched on the Canadian side, apparently because we had two golden retrievers with us. "Those are nice hunting dogs. Are you don't have any guns?" The young agents went through everything inside the RV, but never looked in an outside bay. When they were through, they had golden retriever hair all over their nice crisp blue uniforms.
We've been searched twice entering the US; both were agricultural searches - we had potatoes confiscated Houlton, Maine.
At every crossing, whether searched or not, we have found the border agents to be polite and professional.
