The generator provides the vehicle with 110V power when it is not hooked up to shore power at a campground.

Can I Use Regular Toilet Paper In The RV?

Only 1-ply toilet or septic safe toilet paper is suitable to use in our RVs. 1-ply toilet paper breaks down quicker than regular 2 and 3 ply paper and prevents clogging of the drain pipes. The toilet paper is available from RV supply stores and some supermarkets. Please note that you are responsible for the cost of clearing clogged tanks where incorrect toilet paper has been used.

Do I Have To Stay At A Campground?

Not necessarily. Since all our motorhomes are self-contained it would be possible to overnight anywhere, but you must follow local bylaws/restrictions for overnight stays. For safety reasons, it is not recommended for RVs to stay outside of a designated campground or at roadside ‘rest areas’. RV campgrounds often come with external power sources and water systems for clean water and plumbing. Find helpful information and resources on how to book your RV campsite & accommodation here.

Where Do I Find More Information About Campgrounds & Do I Need To Pre-Book?

The infrastructure in Canada is generally good in quantity as well as in quality. However, campground sites at National Parks and other commonly visited tourist spots can reach capacity. We recommend making reservations in advance, especially during high season and on long weekends.

Do Your Vehicles Support 50 AMP Electrical Hookups?

We provide a shore power cable designed for 30 AMP, along with a 15 AMP power adapter for your convenience. It's important to note that your roof air-conditioner only operates on 30 AMP.

 

Campsites with 50 AMP are typically intended for vehicles equipped with double AC units or washer/dryer setups. Our vehicles are specifically designed for up to 30 AMP, capable of handling up to 3,600 watts. Most campsites offer the 30 AMP hookup among other options.

 

In the rare event that you find yourself on a site with only a 50 AMP option available, requiring the purchase of an adapter at the campground or store, please keep your receipt. We will gladly reimburse you for this expense upon your return. Your satisfaction and comfort during your journey are our top priorities.
