Hi all,
My wife and I came to Canada 15 years ago and Hired a RV and travelled from Montreal across to Halifax, PEI and back via Quebec. We loved it!
We always said we wanted to do it again, but this time the West of Canada, taking in the Rockies. The only difference is now we have three children!
We have booked flights into Calgary for August 18 for three weeks and looking for the most suitable RV to hire. Our children will be 9, 6 & 6 at the time of travel, weighing 30kg, 22kg and 22kg respectively. I seen numerous hire companies, but the most established seems to be Fraser RV?s and Canadream. My main issue with just boooking is that ive heard some campsites don?t take the larger RV?s around Banff and Jasper? However, having three kids requires a fairly large unit. I was thinking of the C-XL large from Fraser RV?s?
My next issue is car seats for the children? Can all these units all take 3 car seats? Or does the elder child not need one?
As we are doing a couple of weeks in Toronto first before coming to Calgary, I was going to buy 3 car seats for the minivan I am hiring.
Don?t want to be ordering the wrong RV or seats and any advice would be appreciated....
Also anyone who has experience of taking 3 young children to these locations, with any preferred campsites and info on manoeuvrability around the towns would be appreciated also.
Thanks
Ryan
