Depending on the province. I know OP will be in Ontario and your comment is applicable to him on this trip.
Radar detectors are legal in BC.
You're kidding right?
I recently had to make a run from the Toronto area to within about 1.5 hours of the Sarnia / Port Huron border crossing in my SUV.
If I was doing less than 130 km/h (80 mph) I was being chased into the right lane by people flying up from behind me.
That's 20 MILES per hour over the speed limit and I was holding up traffic.
Who's going to be going 80++ mph in an RV?
Bear in mind also, there isn't even a fine in Ontario until you're doing 11+ mph over the speed limit, and the former head of our Provincial Police made a public statement that he felt speed limits were too low and should be raised, and that officers should pay less attention to speed limits than bad drivers.
He let it be known the highway patrol division had been directed to ticket cars based on their speed relative to other traffic. I.E. if the traffic is doing 120km/h but 'behaving themselves' to let them be!!
