A pretty standard question at the border every time I've crossed is "Did you buy anything while you were in Canada?" Wouldn't suggest lying about that.
Nope. Somehow, they seem to know.
The real question is if you have to pay any duty on the camper at the border.
For sure lying about it you'd get in way more trouble and it would cost you way more than if you just paid whatever duty (if any) and did the paperwork.
Have you read this?

I know it covers motor vehicles and trailers, not "cargo" but it will all depend on who you get at the border.
"Buuuuut it's cargooooooo!" will not fly with the customs agent.
Why not if it is indeed a cargo?
How would border agents know if someone bought it anyway or owned it for long time already?
You could even say its a gift from some rich friend..or you won it in a card game..
