Looks like a very comprehensive list but to reiterate an earlier point, Canada (including BC, Alberta, YT) is not a 3rd world country.
Based on my last trip (entering in MT and leaving at Beaver Creek), I'd agree that one should start looking to refuel at the 1/2 tank mark, but driving through Canada (on the main roads anyway) isn't the challenge it was in 1976. At that point, the road that is now a roadside attraction ("Turn here to see portions of the old Alaska-Canada highway") was the road to take and things were much different.
In May of '18, the biggest challenge (driving a SUV, not an RV) was determining which motel to book for the night.
All FWIW.
