fly2low Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Crossed into Canada today, on the way to Alaska. First, the Bad. I have been using a Garmin RV GPS for several years. There have been times when the GPS made a suggestion on routing, and I "knew better" and went a different way. Sometimes I was right, sometimes not - and usually painfully so. This morning, the GPS directed me to take the truck route through the Sumas crossing. I followed the directions, but did not feel good about it. This time I would have been correct. RVs do not belong in the truck line, even if it is a Class C built on a Freightliner chassis. The agent had great fun at my expense. The Good. If you take a shotgun into the country, they are so fixated on it, and any other potential weapon you might have, that they forget about everything else. This was my first time bringing a gun into Canada, so I had made several calls to their agency ahead of the event to ensure this weapon would pass muster, and filled out the forms in triplicate on legal paper. Much to my surprise, I had done that correctly All in all, everything worked out well Rich and Carol 2007 Dynamax DQ 340 XL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray,IN Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 I unwittingly entered the truck lane, only at the Niagara Falls crossing entering the U.S.A. The guard was not pleased with my decision, as he had to come down from his high window to inspect our paperwork.

Yea, not fun pulling up in the auto lane. Seems like only about 1 foot between your mirrors and the metal barriers on each side.
