The KOA in Wawa isn't a KOA any more, if it's the one just north of Wawa that's being referred to. Yes, it's a forgettable RV park but we stop there as it's a long day for us to and from the Sudbury area. They have 30 and 50 amp service and water, there is a dump site near the office. The long distance with no gas south of Wawa almost to the Sault shouldn't be a problem for the OP but I saw a stranded motor home (out of gas)on that stretch before.
You get the cheapest diesel in the north in Dryden. The Husky there is easy to get in and out of.
Good to know about the cheap diesel in Dryden. I need to do the math with gallons vs liters and USD vs CAD to figure out my real cost of fuel. Diesel here in Ely MN is currently $2.49/gal and seems to be dropping. I have a 135 gallon tank, so if I am lucky I will need to buy little or no fuel in Canada.
When we were up there in July, the diesel was $1.05 C$/liter. If I have my math right that translates to $4.04 C$ per US gallon, at a 75 cent C$ that makes it $3.03 US. The prices may have dropped since then but up here the refiners are gouging us, still keeping the prices high.
That $1.05 was still the cheapest in northern Ontario though.
Depending on how economical that Cummins is you will probably have to put some Canadian diesel into the tank, we used your 135 gallon tankful of diesel on a one way trip to Dryden from southern Ontario and we aren't close to Niagara Falls, it's another 100 miles or so from us. You should wait to get into southern Ontario to get fuel if you can, I saw diesel at $0.99/liter this morning and it wasn't at a "cheap" station.
