Electrical hookups in Canada
Probably a silly question, but are the plugs the same in Canada as US, or do we need an adapter as we did in England?

They are not exactly the same. The 30 and 50 amp RV receptacles are the same, but be aware of how the 15/20 amp receptacles are wired. The tab is broken on the 15/20 amp receptacles and one separate leg of 120 volts is wired to each side of the tab. That is OK, but it also means that there is 240 volts between the "hot" legs on that 120 volt receptacle.
Whether this is normal wiring on all or just some I do not know, but I could not use a particular adapter that I have. That adapter is not allowed to be sold in Canada.
