Useful for your trip
- Food
- Try the famous French fries at Iron Pryor. They're made by filling halfway, adding condiments (vinegar, salt, ketchup), topping up the rest, then repeating for even coverage.
- Transport
- When driving an RV through drive-throughs, use COVID-19 drive-throughs or car line-ups since RVs cannot fit through standard restaurant drive-through lanes.
- Where to stay
- During COVID-19 lockdowns, RV parks may only allow seasonal stays and restrict overnight parking. Call ahead to confirm availability and dump site access.
- Save money
- RV dump sites may cost around $10 when overnight parking is restricted. Ask staff if they offer dump-only services even if overnight stays aren't available.
- Transport
- The RV journey from Ontario to British Columbia takes 50+ hours of driving. Plan for 2-3 week trips with overnight stops to break up long drives.
- Tip
- RV kitchen setup allows you to cook full meals (pasta, garlic bread) while traveling, eliminating need to rely only on restaurants.
- Timing
- Visit Niagara Falls during off-peak times (e.g., during travel restrictions) for fewer crowds and better social distancing while viewing the falls.
- Tip
- RVs typically have black water tanks (toilet waste), grey water tanks (shower/dish water), and fresh water tanks. Know which is which before dumping.
- Transport
- An RV that is 30-35 feet long can accommodate 3 people comfortably with separate sleeping areas. A fourth person would require sharing tight bathroom space.
- Avoid
- Be cautious of Canada geese near water areas; they are known for aggressive behavior. Avoid approaching them closely.
