This is from reliable (second-hand - Family) information:
Just a bit of caution when travelling from BC to Ontario or the other way. About the only reliable fast route is the Trans-Canada-Highway 1.
My caution is from the Alberta Border to the Ontario border. (Saskatchewan and Manitoba). There are great stretches of the route between larger cities that used to have a lot of small farm towns along the way.
Most of them have now been displaced by HUGE ranches/Farms. This means that Gasoline and Diesel fuel are very scarce in those stretches. It was also reported that the roadbed leaves a bit to be desired in quality. So plan ahead with this in mind. Would'nt want to see anyone run out of fuel with nothing in sight as far as the eye can see. (The horizon- it's flat country there).
Fill the tank every chance you get.
From Western Ontario towards the East, I cannot comment.
This is one man's opinion, perhaps we can get some comments from the local RV community there.I am not trying to discourage anyone from travelling, it's big, beautiful, serene countryside.
