We are new to this forum and this is our first post.
This year my wife and I reached the age of 60 and we would like to celebrate this occasion by touring the US and Canada for up to a year with a Recreational Vehicle. We are not US or Canada citizens but both of us have valid multiple entry B1/B2 visas to the US and we are not required to have tourists visas to Canada.
We have some experience with rented RV but never owned one. Few years ago we spent 4 weeks in Alaska and last year we toured New-Zealand for 5 weeks.
We plan to fly around February 2015 to the south of the US (probably to Florida), buy a RV, register it in that state and spend the rest of the winter touring the south states of the US. As the weather improves we would like to travel north and after few months to cross to Canada with the RV.
We would like to tour Canada for several months and then we plan to return to the US, complete the tour and sell the RV before flying back home.
We are concerned with few issues for which we couldn't find any definitive answers yet (by searching the Internet and even by asking the US embassy)
Maybe some of the members of this forum may help in finding answers to the following 3 questions:
1. Is it possible for non US/Canada citizens to cross the US border to Canada with owned and registered in the US RV?
2. We read that there are some limitations on re-entry the US; therefore we would like to verify that it is possible to re-enter the US with that RV after staying for few months in Canada without the need to travel out of North America for few months first? (We will show a returning home air tickets and sufficient means to stay in the US for the second time)
3. If worse come to worse and we are stuck in Canada with an American RV without being able to re-enter the US, what options do we have in order to get rid of the RV in Canada before flying back home directly from Canada?
We appreciate any advice or sharing of experience.
