My family passed yall heading back from Alaska. Right before all the frostheaves started, I hope yall made it safe, and if you're looking for campgrounds, I suggest sourdough and caribou rv park. Great people. Don't pass a fuel up. Yukon gets pretty desolate.
We just took our Class C motorhome and 2 cats to Victoria Canada, crossed over at Port Angeles, WA it was super easy fun and amazing! We stayed at Salish Seaside RV Park and its absolutely awesome! Victoria has many amazing restaurants shops and bars , so fun to walk around that beautiful city! Highly recommend 💕
Depending on what kind of an instrument panel that you have on the dash of your truck, it should have miles per hour & kilometers. If you have a digital speedometer , you can go in your settings and change it from miles per hour to kilometers, you can find that out in your owners manual.
@@MoosefromCanada no, very smart and successful actually, I didn’t buy into the worldly narrative and lies, I follow the word of God and when you follow the word of God you can never go wrong. The problem is most people don’t or they change it to suit their needs.
We were using my fathers RV to transport my wife's fencing team to an event in Quebec. We arrived at the crossing about 2am , they asked: Anything to declare? A sleepy voice in the back says, Just us and our weapons! It's amazing how fast those RCMP's can move carrying those big guns :(
I went from southern Ohio to Toronto with my high school choir to see the Mama Mia Live production in 2001. As our bus got cleared through the border, a student opened his window, shoved his head and left arm out, faced rearwards and yelled, "We fooled ya, comrades!" The border patrol had agents in vehicles just sitting there, and they started driving as soon as they saw his arm get out the window. He was pulled off the bus, even though he had his paperwork and had been cleared through, and the bus driver was told to start driving without this kid. The kid was held at the border and his parents were called and they had to drive up themselves to get him. He was banned from Canada for 10 years. Border agents have zero humor. I think they're harvested from Pluto to work the borders and they're pissed that their home got downgraded. Seriously though, they don't joke. And they will "detain" you in a holding cell indefinitely if they want to. They have too much power. They don't need a reason. They can just keep you in a concrete room for days. Longest I spent in one was 4 hours. The Migrant Rights Network is lobbying hard to get rid of the border agency. All provinces but Ontario have ended their contracts and have said they'll stop putting migrants in federal prisons with actual felons. All except Ontario.
@@goodisnipr I respectfully disagree with your statement on border guards having zero humour. Lots have a really good sense of. You also may get back what you put out.
@@lindathelondonb9504 I agree. I’ve been through lots of borders all over the world and most are just regular people. Although Italy is/was really serious and downright scary.😳
Welcome to Canadia! 😀 You guys handled the border crossing perfectly. Driver speaks (ahem.) Windows down, sunglasses off, prepared by checking, then not having anything not allowed aboard, eye contact, honest answers (border agents are really GOOD at picking up on dodgy liars) and then get on through and have a GREAT drive!
Did everything wrong going through border back into US yesterday. We were pulling a car trailer and driver decided that made us an RV for the crossing-on a Sunday. He chose the commercial truck lane because sign had “RV” on it. We pulled up to two gates, one was closed but the other was open with a green light. We went through that gate and pulled up behind a class C motor coach. The border guard sits up in a little room about level to a truck drivers window. The RV person was close to that level. We watched the RV pull over to the side and we moved forward for our turn. My friend was driving so he turned the truck off and jumped out to be able to talk to the guard. The guard asks what we are doing in this line and not the other…it said “RV” and my friend said he defaulted to it applying to a car trailer. Guard asked if we read the rest of the sign which stated that applied only to Saturday; oops! “Why didn’t you wait at the gate,” the guard asked. My friend explained how the gate was open and the light was green. Again, didn’t read the fine print… “Please put your rear window down.” Ok, then. See, just luggage here I’m helpfully thinking. So guard is clearly trying to figure out how to send us over to the correct, backed up, line but proceeds ahead instead. What is in the trailer, “a 1970 AMX” and I add that there is a porta poti, too (guard either didn’t hear me, didn’t care, or chose to ignore me). There are more questions like, do you have the papers for the car, “they are in it”. He asks if the car is plated and what does it say; “yes, but can’t remember the plate I’d, but I have a picture of it”. Shows photo. “What about the trailer” the guard asks. My friend said he had borrowed it from a friend from Oregon. There was a little confusion over the Vancouvers as to why he would drive all the way down to Oregon to pick up the trailer to get the car in Vancouver….sorted that out-two Vancouvers, one in Washington and the BC one. I declared my prescription pain pills (“yes, in the correct bottle…” and finally the guard said to pull into the green building and out the other side and keep going. I think the only thing we did right was to give the guard our passports right away.
they asked if i had weapons , i said i had a hatchet, steak and butcher knives , and a base ball bat , they said a bat is not a weapon , i said i dont play baseball
On our 2023 GMC Sierra we were able to to change our dash settings to metric while in Canada and back to standard once we got into Alaska. There was no guessing what speed limit we were going and how many miles/kilometers we had traveled. Takes the guesswork out of it all. It also changes the gallons to liters and etc.
After driving truck back and forth between the US and Canada…quick math to figure MPH or Miles to Kilometers is: divide the kilometers by two (in half), then add 10% of the original number. 100 divided by 2= 50, + 10 = 60 mph or miles ! Have a great trip, and thanks for taking us along. Excited to see all of your adventures.
@BK-dvhh1hh My father used to always say that mouth was easy and people make it complicated.😂 I learned how to convert miles per hour versus kilometers the same way you do.👍
I love it! Welcome 🇨🇦 EH! I just can wait to see your first fuel fill-up it’s going to be great to see you convert $2 a litre to gallons! Make sure you stop in Dawson Creek to get that Alaska Mile Zero photo.. and PS snap a pick at your first Tim Hortons! 😂 I love it!
I've been through the same border crossing you went through dozens of times and they were always super nice on the Canadian side. Not always coming back to the US
And another bit of advice… the roads are pretty rough from Destruction Bay, crossing the US Border, and on into Tok, Alaska. We did that route just one week ago (heading home). Take it slow… frost heaves, potholes and construction zones run rampant!!! Canada does a good job with orange markers for hazardous spots!
When I went to Canada, I have to laugh because the agent initially had a tough demeaner. He asked where I was going, and I said I was just looking for some breakfast and asked if he had any suggestions. He quickly answered excitedly, "Yeah sure, I really like XYZ..." and his friendly Canadian personality came out.
If you are going north, please keep an eye on what is happening with the forest fires. The fires are not under control and there are fewer road options for escape if you need to. And the fires are HUGE! The one in northern BC is the size of Prince Edward Island, which is a province. Stay safe out there!
You were smart to cross at the Sumas/Abbotsford border, rather than the Peace Arch. It's smaller and never very busy. The Peace Arch is a nightmare. Enjoy your trip. We lived in the Yukon for many years and have driven the route you're headed many times. The Alaska Hwy is a beautiful drive, but take your time as parts of it are very curvy and narrow. Stay safe.
We took the “shortcut” to AK and flew up to Anchorage, from west central FL, and rented an RV for 15 days. Drove all over the place. Absolutely loved it!!! ❤❤❤. Can’t wait to see where your going and what you think. A MUST DO is Denali and there are a couple of little campgrounds near by. Safe travels and enjoy the adventure!!
Hey!! You were in my neck of the woods: Everett, WA. Right up I-5 and cross into Canada. I appreciate this video because we've been watching you to learn ups and downs before we pull the trigger on our first trailer purchase. Keep the shares coming!
We recently found your channel and love it. We just purchased our first camper and are looking for tips. Thanks for passing on the knowledge. Love you guys...especially Dexter 🤗
Welcome to beautiful British Columbia. You’re getting a great deal on currency exchange so a good time to travel in BC. Unfortunately when we’re in the USA your $40 campgrounds cost us $55. Safe travels.
Welcome to Canada. "S" hook, brilliant! You might be able to switch to KPH in your dash settings but there should be an inner ring on the speedometer that shows KPH.
When crossing the border use the smaller crossing not the big ones on the interstate . A lot less intense , and plenty of room. When they ask you where you're from always answer the state that you registered your RV and truck in. Getting into Alaska no problems at all. But returning to the lower 48 can be stressful.
Our funniest question was when they asked if the dog in the backseat was our dog……..I was so tempted to say actually he was hitchhiking on the highway and we thought he was cute so we thought we would pick him up but didn’t think the US border guards would see the humour.
So funny! When we crossed the border back to the US, it surprised me that after showing our passports, and having our son with us, who looked just like me, the guard asked who is the little boy in the back seat? Lol
Don’t ya just want to say….’you have his passport in your hands’. I have to say we have had some really nice US guards chat with our kids, just friendly chat.
They are always looking out for kids, that shouldn't be crossing the border. In a domestic dispute situation, crossing a border, really makes thing more complicated. It's subtle, they chat up the kid's to make sure they aren't under duress. A stolen dog, can be worth thousands, too.
Welcome to the PNW! Darn, you past by our town in Marysville, Washington (exit 199)......after the bad and crazy freeway lanes in Everett. They are trying to create an extra lane :( and makes it difficult for even small cars). Sorry I couldn't warn you beforehand. While you are in Canada, make sure to grab/try Old Dutch Ketchup chips, All Dressed chips and Coffee Crisp candy when you stop to get fuel :)
TeamBroom #ThanksHanks - Leaf blowers contribute to noise and air pollution and watching your broom gymnastics is entertaining and on brand (broom=need, leaf blower = want)
1) Good call taking the Sumas/Abbotsford crossing... 2) Always know your vehicle... GM has a setting in your speedometer where you can set it to Metric (Twist the trip meter reset), so when it says 100, then the speedometer actually tells you the speed in Km (And for dodge owners, my old dodge had a Metric ring of speeds inside the Imperial right of MPH)
Haha our Canadian vehicles have the imperial inside the ring. When I rent American cars it messes with me because I would look at the inner ring. Our new Ram truck is digital & we can switch both ways. 😊
@Elizabeth-rq1vi I had just purchased my new Chevrolet last time I drug my RV north (into BC) to visit in-laws and was grumbling about having no metric dial till I Googled the setting for metric.
We've been to Canada several times (Victoria, Vancouver, Burnaby, and Butchart Gardens) and in 2012 we took a cruise up to Seward, road the Alaskan RR through (with various stops) to Fairbanks, then back to Anchorage, then to Wittier to take another cruise back to Vancouver, B.C. where we stayed a few more days before driving back to Western Washington (Grapeview) where we live. Remember: if you've ever run a "10K" it was 6.2 miles, so calculate accordingly. We got a late start (it's about 3 hours to the Canadian border) so getting through the border crossing was tedious (long lines), then getting through Vancouver to the northwest of Stanly Park across the bridge, got us lost and snarled into commute traffic so we stopped at an Indian Restaurant in Richmond (south of Vancouver), met someone who gave us directions and has since become a Facebook friend. Cell service is dicey as you've noticed, but when you actually get to Alaska you should have less difficulty as you are back in the U.S. You didn't mention getting a "milepost" book which for travelers going up via road, I would think, is essential. Also, if you go to Denali you might not want to take an all-day tour (on a children's school bus unless they finally use something comfortable) but some of the other tours (like a dog mushing camp) were very interesting. We also went to a dinner show that was fun and made a river run (June 4th) that was really cold although we were in full wet suits our stocking feet froze. Fairbanks was great and we wish we'd stayed a week or more. Talkeetna is where we took a flight over Denali Mountain and that was great, although it was early June and 87 degrees when we walked from our lodge into the town (which is quite funky). Take several "Marionberry" tours that are available in Anchorage. Go to the aquarium at the tip of the Seward Peninsula and don't miss taking the NP boat tour offered from the Seward Harbor (you also get a nice dinner with the all-day cruise). Then go over to Homer as RV traveling friends said they loved it and went salmon and cod fishing there which stocked up their freezer. We only spent a month in Alaska and went because of our interest in traveling via the Alaskan RR, but it was not that much more expensive to cruise up and back (than it was to fly) and we needed the "going back" cruise to rest. You can drive to Skagway (tour busses take people from Skagway to Whitehorse and back or you can take their railroad.) Read the details as you might be able to do this trip in reverse: www.alaska.org/detail/white-pass-yukon-route-railroad You can only get to Juneau and Ketchikan by boat and road from Whitehorse but with an RV that might be difficult. If you can take a side trip go to Sitka by boat (I missed that on the trip we took) so I'd love to see it through your eyes. This link shows all of the cruise ship ports so you can guess that there will be supplies and interesting things to see and do at each location. I hope this is helpful: www.cruisemummy.co.uk/alaska-cruise-ports/ I am enjoying your trip so far and if you do any of the things I suggest, watching your experiences will be a great way to relive those memories and make some new ones. Enjoy.
Hello guys, I often travel the border from Canada to the USA. In your video, the border patrol lady was very cool. Sometimes, they are more in bad humor. Once, I told the US border patrol that I had oranges. They had the Folrida stickers on them, and I told the gentleman that the oranges were coming back home. He didn't laugh. For your speed, multiplied the km/h by 0,6. Good trip from a Canadian follower
Just a quick tip, depending on your cellular plan, once you leave the USA, roaming charges may kick in. So if your plan does not cover that, put your phone in airplane mode except when you need it. Safe travels, have a wonderful trip !!!
I live full time in my tiny home on wheels. I came into Canada Tuesday to go to Mississauga to see The Toe Bro, famous RUclipsr. This is my 2nd time in Canada this year, it is beautiful.
@@christinamann3640 I just went an had an appointment with him. I will be putting that video up tonight. He's exactly the same in person as on his channel. 😁
One year going to an RV rally in northern Ontario on 4th of July with customs folks who did not want to be working that day and we drew the "short straw". Searched the 5th wheel from top to bottom. Found a gun lock that we had gotten free at an RV rally and got third degree explaining that we did not have any weapons in the camper. Customs guys said "If I get my dog will he find anything?". Finally convinced them that we did not have weapons but they were really rude, climbing on our furniture to search cabinets, etc. and ended up sitting there 45 minutes before they cleared us. Other times no problem. Going to Alaska and coming back, going to Nova Scotia and back we breezed right through.
Welcome to BC, Canada. We live 20 minutes from where you entered! Have a great and safe trip! I hope you enjoyed Hope, BC. Perhaps we can catch you on the flip side.
This must be the season for travel to Canada and Alaska! Seems all bloggers are up there this year. I’m loving the conversation regarding inches vs. meters and miles vs kilometers. On your speedometer there is usually a second meter for Kilometers for an easy comparison. Thanks for your blogs !
So funny to watch your video . Welcome in Canada ! Enjoy your travel here . We are full timer,leaving in Quebec province from May to november and going to Texas and Arizona for winter from November to April. Great life to visit our both countries.
Welcome to Canada! You will be travelling through one of our ‘prettiest’ Provences. A little tip about crossing boarders. Sunglasses off, use eye contact, let just the driver answer their questions, unless they ask you (or other passengers) a question, and basically just answer what questions they ask, be honest. You should be able to change your vehicle settings to metric from US. I know you have already been in our country for a bit , but drive safe and soak up our clean (Smokey?) air. Have a great journey. Rick
Welcome to Canada even if I'm at the total opposite in Quebec! I'm curious, in our cars the speedometer is in KM/H on the top line and just under we have MPH, US cars don't have both info? Take care and have fun visiting the beautiful Western Canada! Bonne journée! sorry just look at other comments and the same question/comment appears a lot...
One guy on my charter bus admitted at the border he had a gun in his suitcase. That made all luggage from a full bus load of people get pulled off the bus. We missed their link up to the cruise ship we were heading to for them to all get on. When that happens they make other accommodations with another boat to take them all out to the cruise ship. What a mess that is.
Yes, you can adjust your speedometer in your truck computer to Kmh or just write it down on a note with your height and stick it on your dashboard for quick access when needed.
When we crossed the Mexico border going to Rocky Point, the border dude just turned his back and let us sail by. Coming back over was a totally different experience.
Its been interesting to watch RUclipsrs go to Canada and talk about speed calculations when almost every modern car today has a switch to set the speedometer from mph to kpm. I know it makes good content but...
Good job at the border. As a regular crosser, abide by the advice NayNay read - keep the answers short and only answer what they ask. Also agreed, only the driver answers questions unless they ask the passenger. BUT... you went through Sumas; you completely missed Vancouver! You guys need to think about spending a few days in Vancouver when you come home. You CAN'T skip the city!!!
The land between the borders is call " No Man's Land" you can do what ever you want there. If you are on the run you can live in this zone and no one can do anything to you. That is what my husband told our daughters when we crossed the boarder.... LOL.....Have a GREAT trip!
On our trip to Alaska we did 8 total boarder crossings. All of them were easy but still a little nerve racking. You mentioned your first stop in Alaska is Valdez, it was on of our highlights. I highly recommend the Lula Bell for a great day trip experience! And the waterfalls on the road in are awesome.
I also recommend the LuluBell - was there last summer. Just be sure to hold on tight to your phone. I dropped mine in the ocean taking a video of the cute sea otters. Luckily Valdez has a cell phone store. Have fun!!!
Hi Glad you made it to or beautiful country. Easy way to do your speed . Times the speed number by 6 and drop the last digit it will be close. Or take the speed and divide by 1.6. You will see some beautiful country and you might luck into seeing some wild animals. I have cross between the 2 countries. I always buy my food when I am in the country I am staying in for a while. Best rule of thumb is no fresh meat or fruit. Have fun and enjoy Canada. Dana and Laurie
We are from Canada and last time we went to the USA on our 1rst shake down trip March 2023, we were the same lol in telling each other that only one person does the talking etc. But....after deciding my husband would do all the talking, the security agent asked about something food related and my husband said no....then like Renee I had to correct him, as he had forgotten we had some prepackaged Costco salad. The agent was really nice and said let you on a tip. The first set of questions is usually aimed at the Husband/driver and then when they ask something about food related they generally are waiting for the wife to answer as they generally have done most of the food packing. I was waiting for them to ask you about the cat and vaccines etc, as we are hoping to eventually take our cat next time we go. Have a great trip to Alaska!
It's been a long time since I crossed the Canada-US border by car, but entering Canada was always a breeze; the interrogation really kicked in coming home to the US.
Welcome to Canada I hope you have a great trip probably won’t make it Vancouver island where we are but enjoy the beauty of our province of British Columbia on your way through
Oh my gosh!!! I wish I knew you guys were so close. My wife and I live in Coquitlam, which is close to Hope, and would've loved to meet you guys. Safe travels, the scenery is beautiful...enjoy ❤
That is smart to reference a rest area to not loose your party👍Hanks handling it. I’m telling he said always have a good view of something he was looking at you girl he get point for that.
LOL! I live in British Columbia. Welcome to the highway parking lot on the way to the border. I hope you didn't get lost. I should have watched the rest of the vid before commenting - you didn't get lost
You will LOVE Alaska. Valdez is a def must!! Talker a Hatcher Pass-Eklutna-Denali-Hope-Seward-Cooper Landing and Russian River-Kenai-Soldotna-Homer. This are all must places or camping
I have been searching youtube videos off and on for the past month to see what it is like to cross into Canada. You got in easier and faster than some people. Thanks for sharing.
Easiest is to remember that 1 mile is about 1.6 km. So just divide 100 bij 1.6 and you know the speed limit. Most modern cars also have the option to switch between miles and kilometers, something I do when I go to England from Europe.
You drove right by our house in Bothell, Washington! Awesome! I'd recognize that I-5 to Everett and Canada sign anywhere. My apologies for 405 near Seattle - it's always been a hassle, especially in an RV (believe me, I know this pain). It's only our house for another couple of weeks however, because after 22 years we're selling it and hitting the road in our old, but well kept and modified 2003 Fleetwood Bounder 36D! Yeah, a Class-A owner (a gasser) and his clan have started following your videos! We just found your channel a few weeks ago, and we've enjoyed your travels and RV experiences. Thank you for putting together such a fun channel. We're bringing two cats and a rabbit along for the ride too. It's going to be a lot different than the "Space Art" I post on my YT channel now, but next week we start posting "the journey"... once I get our Bounder back from the shop. Then it'll be "space art, on the road!" Thank you for sharing your travels. Dex is awesome too
20 years ago when little lady and I started dating seriously, I took her on a trip to Niagara Falls. Understand, I lived in Ohio and she West Virginia. (We both lived by state border) when we crossed into Canada we got the questions. I had Ohio license and she WV. I got the 5th degree because they thought I kidnapped her. Border agents all around my car and they kept asking her if she was there wilfully and that if she wasn't the situation would be handled. They said different states made them question. As harsh as it was for me, I appreciated they took that step. We did have a great, very expensive time. A memory we talk about to this day. Stay safe, enjoy, looking forward to updates on this travel. Love you guys.
A lot of Canada experiences freezing temperatures. For any crack in the road water will get in. And when it freezes that water will turn to ice and expand, widening that crack. In just a few years a hairline crack will transform into a huge pothole. Sorry lol
Yes, have crossed into Canada many times in my personal vehicle multiple times and am always nervous. I saw that you crossed via Sumas, WA. That is a nice, scenic riute.
I would get a plan that doesn’t have data roaming. You went through our area of Washington. I could tell by the signs and the crossing. Just remember kilometers an hour just means really slow. Same as Australia.
I've been to Canada four times. The first two crossing were as a shortcut to Michigan from upstate NY, driving a modified VW Rabbit. The next two trips were travel to PEI from Maine in an ordinary pickup. Canadian Customs were much friendlier when we told them our visit was for tourism rather than a shortcut to another U.S. state. They like to hear that you have reservations at a destination. On the shortcut trips we were driving a fully striped (but street legal) race car with sponsor names, one of which was Heritage Firearms. They were okay when we explained that they'd just sponsored us for the event, which took place in the U.S. and didn't involve any firearms. We've never been RVing in Canada, but someday we want to go to Montreal to see some of the fireworks festival. For the speedometer, flip through the multi-function LCD screens in your GM dash cluster. One of them displays your speed in MPH or Km/H. (This was true for my 2014 Sierra and my current 2022 Silverado.)

There’s a button on your truck to toggle between kilometers and miles per hour

Victoria has many amazing restaurants shops and bars , so fun to walk around that beautiful city! Highly recommend 💕
Extra note: we crossed over on the BoHO Ferry! Amazing 😘

This. Newer GM vehicles especially you can go to the settings on your dash and switch to metric.
On behalf of all us Canucks we want to welcome both of you to Canada. Hope you guys enjoy your time here!

Yeah and if you don’t feed into the lgbt lies and “confirm their identity” you may go to jail and not make it back home…
Ya.. Welcome. You will love the trip through this beautiful country. 🇨🇦
@@bounderchris are you a special person that rides a short bus?
@@MoosefromCanada no, very smart and successful actually, I didn’t buy into the worldly narrative and lies, I follow the word of God and when you follow the word of God you can never go wrong. The problem is most people don’t or they change it to suit their needs.
You do realize your truck can flip between km, and mph. In the speedometer.
Yep, and then just remember to switch it back to MPH once you cross into Alaska. 😉
Just came to say this
No, I don't think they did.
If they are not frequent border crossers they probably wouldn’t know. If fact I bet most Americans don’t know they can switch it.
I don't know how to switch it
We were using my fathers RV to transport my wife's fencing team to an event in Quebec.
We arrived at the crossing about 2am , they asked: Anything to declare?
A sleepy voice in the back says, Just us and our weapons!
It's amazing how fast those RCMP's can move carrying those big guns :(
The sleepy one doesn’t do the talking. Noted. 😂
I went from southern Ohio to Toronto with my high school choir to see the Mama Mia Live production in 2001.

Seriously though, they don't joke. And they will "detain" you in a holding cell indefinitely if they want to. They have too much power. They don't need a reason. They can just keep you in a concrete room for days. Longest I spent in one was 4 hours. The Migrant Rights Network is lobbying hard to get rid of the border agency. All provinces but Ontario have ended their contracts and have said they'll stop putting migrants in federal prisons with actual felons. All except Ontario.
I actually like that reaction to the stupid kid. I mean he must have been a teenager, no? Old enough to know better.
@@goodisnipr I respectfully disagree with your statement on border guards having zero humour. Lots have a really good sense of. You also may get back what you put out.

Welcome to Canadia! 😀 You guys handled the border crossing perfectly. Driver speaks (ahem.) Windows down, sunglasses off, prepared by checking, then not having anything not allowed aboard, eye contact, honest answers (border agents are really GOOD at picking up on dodgy liars) and then get on through and have a GREAT drive!
Lol...Canadia...I call it the 'People's Republic of Canadia'!😂
Did everything wrong going through border back into US yesterday. We were pulling a car trailer and driver decided that made us an RV for the crossing-on a Sunday. He chose the commercial truck lane because sign had “RV” on it. We pulled up to two gates, one was closed but the other was open with a green light. We went through that gate and pulled up behind a class C motor coach.
The border guard sits up in a little room about level to a truck drivers window. The RV person was close to that level. We watched the RV pull over to the side and we moved forward for our turn. My friend was driving so he turned the truck off and jumped out to be able to talk to the guard. The guard asks what we are doing in this line and not the other…it said “RV” and my friend said he defaulted to it applying to a car trailer. Guard asked if we read the rest of the sign which stated that applied only to Saturday; oops! “Why didn’t you wait at the gate,” the guard asked. My friend explained how the gate was open and the light was green. Again, didn’t read the fine print…
“Please put your rear window down.” Ok, then. See, just luggage here I’m helpfully thinking.
So guard is clearly trying to figure out how to send us over to the correct, backed up, line but proceeds ahead instead. What is in the trailer, “a 1970 AMX” and I add that there is a porta poti, too (guard either didn’t hear me, didn’t care, or chose to ignore me). There are more questions like, do you have the papers for the car, “they are in it”. He asks if the car is plated and what does it say; “yes, but can’t remember the plate I’d, but I have a picture of it”. Shows photo. “What about the trailer” the guard asks. My friend said he had borrowed it from a friend from Oregon. There was a little confusion over the Vancouvers as to why he would drive all the way down to Oregon to pick up the trailer to get the car in Vancouver….sorted that out-two Vancouvers, one in Washington and the BC one. I declared my prescription pain pills (“yes, in the correct bottle…” and finally the guard said to pull into the green building and out the other side and keep going. I think the only thing we did right was to give the guard our passports right away.
I started laughing when you declared the pocket knife, but not all the steak knives. 😅
😂😂
they asked if i had weapons , i said i had a hatchet, steak and butcher knives , and a base ball bat , they said a bat is not a weapon , i said i dont play baseball
You two are like a weekly sitcom! Love it!!
They are much funnier fun imho
On our 2023 GMC Sierra we were able to to change our dash settings to metric while in Canada and back to standard once we got into Alaska. There was no guessing what speed limit we were going and how many miles/kilometers we had traveled. Takes the guesswork out of it all. It also changes the gallons to liters and etc.
After driving truck back and forth between the US and Canada…quick math to figure MPH or Miles to Kilometers is: divide the kilometers by two (in half), then add 10% of the original number. 100 divided by 2= 50, + 10 = 60 mph or miles !
Have a great trip, and thanks for taking us along. Excited to see all of your adventures.
Used to cross the borders back and forth at least once a day. My conversion was 5 to 8. Speed in mph divided by 5 then multiply by 8.
@BK-dvhh1hh
My father used to always say that mouth was easy and people make it complicated.😂
I learned how to convert miles per hour versus kilometers the same way you do.👍
I love it! Welcome 🇨🇦 EH!
I just can wait to see your first fuel fill-up it’s going to be great to see you convert $2 a litre to gallons!
Make sure you stop in Dawson Creek to get that Alaska Mile Zero photo.. and PS snap a pick at your first Tim Hortons! 😂
I love it!
Always act as suspicious as possible when crossing the border! It'll be fun! The strip search is quite refreshing. 😮
😂😂😂😂
@@Couplescience What?! I had to wipe my butt on the carpet!
😂😂😂
Welcome to our beautiful country! So much to see and explore. Safe travels Hanks fam! ❤️🇨🇦
I've been through the same border crossing you went through dozens of times and they were always super nice on the Canadian side. Not always coming back to the US
You guys are never gonna forget this trip.......enjoy.🎉
And another bit of advice… the roads are pretty rough from Destruction Bay, crossing the US Border, and on into Tok, Alaska. We did that route just one week ago (heading home). Take it slow… frost heaves, potholes and construction zones run rampant!!! Canada does a good job with orange markers for hazardous spots!
Welcome to Canada!! Thanks for the quick shots of my hometown of Abbotsford too! Safe travels
When I went to Canada, I have to laugh because the agent initially had a tough demeaner. He asked where I was going, and I said I was just looking for some breakfast and asked if he had any suggestions. He quickly answered excitedly, "Yeah sure, I really like XYZ..." and his friendly Canadian personality came out.
I did that too. Me: Any good pastry shops near here? Him: Yep, right around the corner.
It was an awesome pastry shop. New Brunswick.
Welcome to Canada! A Country full of the nicest people in the world. You are about to see some awesome scenery as well. Enjoy it, we love it!
If you are going north, please keep an eye on what is happening with the forest fires. The fires are not under control and there are fewer road options for escape if you need to. And the fires are HUGE! The one in northern BC is the size of Prince Edward Island, which is a province. Stay safe out there!
I’m so happy that you’re in my beautiful country and in my Province!!
You were smart to cross at the Sumas/Abbotsford border, rather than the Peace Arch. It's smaller and never very busy. The Peace Arch is a nightmare. Enjoy your trip. We lived in the Yukon for many years and have driven the route you're headed many times. The Alaska Hwy is a beautiful drive, but take your time as parts of it are very curvy and narrow. Stay safe.
We took the “shortcut” to AK and flew up to Anchorage, from west central FL, and rented an RV for 15 days. Drove all over the place. Absolutely loved it!!! ❤❤❤. Can’t wait to see where your going and what you think. A MUST DO is Denali and there are a couple of little campgrounds near by.
Safe travels and enjoy the adventure!!
Congrats on the trip to Alaska. Just spent 12 years up there, great time and great people. Watch out for bears and moose. 🎉
Hey!! You were in my neck of the woods: Everett, WA. Right up I-5 and cross into Canada. I appreciate this video because we've been watching you to learn ups and downs before we pull the trigger on our first trailer purchase. Keep the shares coming!
We recently found your channel and love it. We just purchased our first camper and are looking for tips. Thanks for passing on the knowledge. Love you guys...especially Dexter 🤗
Congrats! Thank you for being here :)
Welcome to beautiful British Columbia. You’re getting a great deal on currency exchange so a good time to travel in BC. Unfortunately when we’re in the USA your $40 campgrounds cost us $55. Safe travels.
When shes getting anxious if the rv will fit through the border stop and he says are you ok?🥺 the absolute sweetest
Welcome to Canada. "S" hook, brilliant! You might be able to switch to KPH in your dash settings but there should be an inner ring on the speedometer that shows KPH.
Your truck can switch the speedo/odo to metric. Its in the in-dash settings.
When crossing the border use the smaller crossing not the big ones on the interstate . A lot less intense , and plenty of room. When they ask you where you're from always answer the state that you registered your RV and truck in. Getting into Alaska no problems at all. But returning to the lower 48 can be stressful.
Our funniest question was when they asked if the dog in the backseat was our dog……..I was so tempted to say actually he was hitchhiking on the highway and we thought he was cute so we thought we would pick him up but didn’t think the US border guards would see the humour.
So funny! When we crossed the border back to the US, it surprised me that after showing our passports, and having our son with us, who looked just like me, the guard asked who is the little boy in the back seat? Lol
Don’t ya just want to say….’you have his passport in your hands’. I have to say we have had some really nice US guards chat with our kids, just friendly chat.
@@cindyfrazer4301 yes!
Agree, odd question
They are always looking out for kids, that shouldn't be crossing the border. In a domestic dispute situation, crossing a border, really makes thing more complicated. It's subtle, they chat up the kid's to make sure they aren't under duress. A stolen dog, can be worth thousands, too.
Welcome to the PNW! Darn, you past by our town in Marysville, Washington (exit 199)......after the bad and crazy freeway lanes in Everett. They are trying to create an extra lane :( and makes it difficult for even small cars). Sorry I couldn't warn you beforehand. While you are in Canada, make sure to grab/try Old Dutch Ketchup chips, All Dressed chips and Coffee Crisp candy when you stop to get fuel :)
TeamBroom #ThanksHanks - Leaf blowers contribute to noise and air pollution and watching your broom gymnastics is entertaining and on brand (broom=need, leaf blower = want)
1) Good call taking the Sumas/Abbotsford crossing...
2) Always know your vehicle... GM has a setting in your speedometer where you can set it to Metric (Twist the trip meter reset), so when it says 100, then the speedometer actually tells you the speed in Km (And for dodge owners, my old dodge had a Metric ring of speeds inside the Imperial right of MPH)
Haha our Canadian vehicles have the imperial inside the ring. When I rent American cars it messes with me because I would look at the inner ring. Our new Ram truck is digital & we can switch both ways. 😊
@Elizabeth-rq1vi
I had just purchased my new Chevrolet last time I drug my RV north (into BC) to visit in-laws and was grumbling about having no metric dial till I Googled the setting for metric.
Sorry I miss you on Thursday and this weekend, but we were CAMPING. Hope you enjoy your travels through Canada. Stay safe and have fun.
We've been to Canada several times (Victoria, Vancouver, Burnaby, and Butchart Gardens) and in 2012 we took a cruise up to Seward, road the Alaskan RR through (with various stops) to Fairbanks, then back to Anchorage, then to Wittier to take another cruise back to Vancouver, B.C. where we stayed a few more days before driving back to Western Washington (Grapeview) where we live.
Remember: if you've ever run a "10K" it was 6.2 miles, so calculate accordingly.
We got a late start (it's about 3 hours to the Canadian border) so getting through the border crossing was tedious (long lines), then getting through Vancouver to the northwest of Stanly Park across the bridge, got us lost and snarled into commute traffic so we stopped at an Indian Restaurant in Richmond (south of Vancouver), met someone who gave us directions and has since become a Facebook friend.
Cell service is dicey as you've noticed, but when you actually get to Alaska you should have less difficulty as you are back in the U.S. You didn't mention getting a "milepost" book which for travelers going up via road, I would think, is essential.
Also, if you go to Denali you might not want to take an all-day tour (on a children's school bus unless they finally use something comfortable) but some of the other tours (like a dog mushing camp) were very interesting. We also went to a dinner show that was fun and made a river run (June 4th) that was really cold although we were in full wet suits our stocking feet froze.
Fairbanks was great and we wish we'd stayed a week or more. Talkeetna is where we took a flight over Denali Mountain and that was great, although it was early June and 87 degrees when we walked from our lodge into the town (which is quite funky).
Take several "Marionberry" tours that are available in Anchorage. Go to the aquarium at the tip of the Seward Peninsula and don't miss taking the NP boat tour offered from the Seward Harbor (you also get a nice dinner with the all-day cruise). Then go over to Homer as RV traveling friends said they loved it and went salmon and cod fishing there which stocked up their freezer.
We only spent a month in Alaska and went because of our interest in traveling via the Alaskan RR, but it was not that much more expensive to cruise up and back (than it was to fly) and we needed the "going back" cruise to rest.
You can drive to Skagway (tour busses take people from Skagway to Whitehorse and back or you can take their railroad.) Read the details as you might be able to do this trip in reverse:
www.alaska.org/detail/white-pass-yukon-route-railroad
You can only get to Juneau and Ketchikan by boat and road from Whitehorse but with an RV that might be difficult. If you can take a side trip go to Sitka by boat (I missed that on the trip we took) so I'd love to see it through your eyes.
This link shows all of the cruise ship ports so you can guess that there will be supplies and interesting things to see and do at each location. I hope this is helpful:
www.cruisemummy.co.uk/alaska-cruise-ports/
I am enjoying your trip so far and if you do any of the things I suggest, watching your experiences will be a great way to relive those memories and make some new ones. Enjoy.
Hello guys, I often travel the border from Canada to the USA. In your video, the border patrol lady was very cool. Sometimes, they are more in bad humor. Once, I told the US border patrol that I had oranges. They had the Folrida stickers on them, and I told the gentleman that the oranges were coming back home. He didn't laugh.
For your speed, multiplied the km/h by 0,6.
Good trip from a Canadian follower
Glad to see you successfully crossed into Canada. Looking forward to some new scenery and adventures.
Once you get to Alaska, you can overnight camp in any pullout. Multiply kilometers by 10 and drop 3rd diget (100x6-600 drop last number)
Sorry about the traffic in Everett, WA. That section is always bad. I work my way through there several times a week. Have a great time up North!
I hope y’all have a great trip!! Already looks beautiful! Happy Camping and Safe Travels!! ❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just a quick tip, depending on your cellular plan, once you leave the USA, roaming charges may kick in. So if your plan does not cover that, put your phone in airplane mode except when you need it.
Safe travels, have a wonderful trip !!!
Welcome to Canada, enjoy the road trip and be careful of the forest fires along the way
I live full time in my tiny home on wheels. I came into Canada Tuesday to go to Mississauga to see The Toe Bro, famous RUclipsr. This is my 2nd time in Canada this year, it is beautiful.
I watch his channel too!
@@christinamann3640 I just went an had an appointment with him. I will be putting that video up tonight. He's exactly the same in person as on his channel. 😁
OMG guys. I’m so excited for you guys. And SO HAPPY to get to go along with you guys. LOVE Canada! You guys will have a WONDERFUL time. YAAA!!!
One year going to an RV rally in northern Ontario on 4th of July with customs folks who did not want to be working that day and we drew the "short straw". Searched the 5th wheel from top to bottom. Found a gun lock that we had gotten free at an RV rally and got third degree explaining that we did not have any weapons in the camper. Customs guys said "If I get my dog will he find anything?". Finally convinced them that we did not have weapons but they were really rude, climbing on our furniture to search cabinets, etc. and ended up sitting there 45 minutes before they cleared us. Other times no problem. Going to Alaska and coming back, going to Nova Scotia and back we breezed right through.
That sux bad.
Sorry
Welcome to BC, Canada. We live 20 minutes from where you entered! Have a great and safe trip! I hope you enjoyed Hope, BC. Perhaps we can catch you on the flip side.
This must be the season for travel to Canada and Alaska! Seems all bloggers are up there this year. I’m loving the conversation regarding inches vs. meters and miles vs kilometers. On your speedometer there is usually a second meter for Kilometers for an easy comparison. Thanks for your blogs !
You can just change from mph to kph in the instrument settings from the steering wheel controls.
You can change you units on "D" to display KM/HR instead of MPH.
Have fun.
So funny to watch your video . Welcome in Canada ! Enjoy your travel here . We are full timer,leaving in Quebec province from May to november and going to Texas and Arizona for winter from November to April. Great life to visit our both countries.
Welcome to Canada! You will be travelling through one of our ‘prettiest’ Provences. A little tip about crossing boarders. Sunglasses off, use eye contact, let just the driver answer their questions, unless they ask you (or other passengers) a question, and basically just answer what questions they ask, be honest. You should be able to change your vehicle settings to metric from US. I know you have already been in our country for a bit , but drive safe and soak up our clean (Smokey?) air. Have a great journey. Rick
Welcome to Canada HappilyEverHanks!! Enjoy your stay!
Welcome to Canada even if I'm at the total opposite in Quebec! I'm curious, in our cars the speedometer is in KM/H on the top line and just under we have MPH, US cars don't have both info? Take care and have fun visiting the beautiful Western Canada! Bonne journée! sorry just look at other comments and the same question/comment appears a lot...
One guy on my charter bus admitted at the border he had a gun in his suitcase. That made all luggage from a full bus load of people get pulled off the bus. We missed their link up to the cruise ship we were heading to for them to all get on. When that happens they make other accommodations with another boat to take them all out to the cruise ship. What a mess that is.
He planned on bringing the gun on the cruise?
Welcome to Canada. I hope the forest fires in BC and Alberta don't cause too many delays. Happy travels.
Hanks- I have the same truck.
When I enter Canada, there is a feature in your driver display in the column to convert mph - to kmh!
Be safe!!
Love you guys!! Thanks for making your videos informative, and fun to watch! Safe travels!!
Yes, you can adjust your speedometer in your truck computer to Kmh or just write it down on a note with your height and stick it on your dashboard for quick access when needed.
When we crossed the Mexico border going to Rocky Point, the border dude just turned his back and let us sail by. Coming back over was a totally different experience.
Its been interesting to watch RUclipsrs go to Canada and talk about speed calculations when almost every modern car today has a switch to set the speedometer from mph to kpm. I know it makes good content but...
Welcome to Canada! ☺Wishing you all a great time
Great video! Got to the end and I was wait, what? Can’t be over already. It was! No, can’t be.
Good job at the border. As a regular crosser, abide by the advice NayNay read - keep the answers short and only answer what they ask. Also agreed, only the driver answers questions unless they ask the passenger. BUT... you went through Sumas; you completely missed Vancouver! You guys need to think about spending a few days in Vancouver when you come home. You CAN'T skip the city!!!
We call it Playing the Customs Game at the border. Short sweet and only what what they ask.
The land between the borders is call " No Man's Land" you can do what ever you want there. If you are on the run you can live in this zone and no one can do anything to you. That is what my husband told our daughters when we crossed the boarder.... LOL.....Have a GREAT trip!
On our trip to Alaska we did 8 total boarder crossings. All of them were easy but still a little nerve racking. You mentioned your first stop in Alaska is Valdez, it was on of our highlights. I highly recommend the Lula Bell for a great day trip experience! And the waterfalls on the road in are awesome.
I also recommend the LuluBell - was there last summer. Just be sure to hold on tight to your phone. I dropped mine in the ocean taking a video of the cute sea otters. Luckily Valdez has a cell phone store. Have fun!!!
You two are just delightful, always so much fun to watch ,nice singing princess honestly ,if I could be singing that well I would never shut up ! lol
Great video. I had to explain my Thanks Hanks shirt multiple times in the last two weeks 😂😂.
Hi Glad you made it to or beautiful country. Easy way to do your speed . Times the speed number by 6 and drop the last digit it will be close. Or take the speed and divide by 1.6. You will see some beautiful country and you might luck into seeing some wild animals. I have cross between the 2 countries. I always buy my food when I am in the country I am staying in for a while. Best rule of thumb is no fresh meat or fruit. Have fun and enjoy Canada. Dana and Laurie
Welcome to Canada, hope your stay was great.
We are just leaving! Vancouver is beautiful!!! The city water, straight from the taps, is delicious! Enjoy! :)
You guys came right through where we live.
We are from Canada and last time we went to the USA on our 1rst shake down trip March 2023, we were the same lol in telling each other that only one person does the talking etc. But....after deciding my husband would do all the talking, the security agent asked about something food related and my husband said no....then like Renee I had to correct him, as he had forgotten we had some prepackaged Costco salad. The agent was really nice and said let you on a tip. The first set of questions is usually aimed at the Husband/driver and then when they ask something about food related they generally are waiting for the wife to answer as they generally have done most of the food packing. I was waiting for them to ask you about the cat and vaccines etc, as we are hoping to eventually take our cat next time we go. Have a great trip to Alaska!
they may ask about vaccines for pets , just have them , as well as your vaccines
I usually go to our vet and get a well pet certificate...
It's been a long time since I crossed the Canada-US border by car, but entering Canada was always a breeze; the interrogation really kicked in coming home to the US.
I love you guys so much!"we have a knife," NeNe,
Carl: "we’re getting arrested!"
Oops haha! :)
Welcome to Canada I hope you have a great trip probably won’t make it Vancouver island where we are but enjoy the beauty of our province of British Columbia on your way through
Thanks Hanks for the important border crossing info. Alaska is definitely on our radar for the future.
Oh my gosh!!! I wish I knew you guys were so close. My wife and I live in Coquitlam, which is close to Hope, and would've loved to meet you guys. Safe travels, the scenery is beautiful...enjoy ❤
That is smart to reference a rest area to not loose your party👍Hanks handling it. I’m telling he said always have a good view of something he was looking at you girl he get point for that.
LOL! I live in British Columbia. Welcome to the highway parking lot on the way to the border. I hope you didn't get lost. I should have watched the rest of the vid before commenting - you didn't get lost
So good! Welcome to Canada!
You will LOVE Alaska. Valdez is a def must!! Talker a Hatcher Pass-Eklutna-Denali-Hope-Seward-Cooper Landing and Russian River-Kenai-Soldotna-Homer. This are all must places or camping
I have been searching youtube videos off and on for the past month to see what it is like to cross into Canada. You got in easier and faster than some people. Thanks for sharing.
You were in my backyard on your way to Canada! Wish I would have known I would have loved to meet up with you 😊
Easiest is to remember that 1 mile is about 1.6 km. So just divide 100 bij 1.6 and you know the speed limit. Most modern cars also have the option to switch between miles and kilometers, something I do when I go to England from Europe.
You drove right by our house in Bothell, Washington! Awesome! I'd recognize that I-5 to Everett and Canada sign anywhere. My apologies for 405 near Seattle - it's always been a hassle, especially in an RV (believe me, I know this pain).
It's only our house for another couple of weeks however, because after 22 years we're selling it and hitting the road in our old, but well kept and modified 2003 Fleetwood Bounder 36D! Yeah, a Class-A owner (a gasser) and his clan have started following your videos! We just found your channel a few weeks ago, and we've enjoyed your travels and RV experiences. Thank you for putting together such a fun channel.
We're bringing two cats and a rabbit along for the ride too. It's going to be a lot different than the "Space Art" I post on my YT channel now, but next week we start posting "the journey"... once I get our Bounder back from the shop. Then it'll be "space art, on the road!"
Thank you for sharing your travels. Dex is awesome too
I hope you guys are bringing the sun and warmth with you! For some reason I’m south central Alaska it’s been lacking in the sun more than usual.
20 years ago when little lady and I started dating seriously, I took her on a trip to Niagara Falls. Understand, I lived in Ohio and she West Virginia. (We both lived by state border) when we crossed into Canada we got the questions. I had Ohio license and she WV. I got the 5th degree because they thought I kidnapped her. Border agents all around my car and they kept asking her if she was there wilfully and that if she wasn't the situation would be handled. They said different states made them question. As harsh as it was for me, I appreciated they took that step. We did have a great, very expensive time. A memory we talk about to this day. Stay safe, enjoy, looking forward to updates on this travel. Love you guys.
The S Hook is Genius!!!!!! I never would have thought of that. Thanks Carl!
Ikeas big ‘s’ hooks r great on that wall, also used bungie cords to hold tall stuff, like a rolled carpet.
A lot of Canada experiences freezing temperatures. For any crack in the road water will get in. And when it freezes that water will turn to ice and expand, widening that crack. In just a few years a hairline crack will transform into a huge pothole.
Sorry
lol
Great video but they always seem to go by so quickly! Have a wonderful adventure up north.
quick approximate kph to mph: divide kph in half, then add 10% of first number. i.e 100 ÷ 2 = 50 plus 10% of 100 = 10 (50 + 10 = 60kph) 😃
We cross at that crossing all the time going both ways. Only been searched once going down. You're in Hope where the movie Rambo was filmed.
I've been all over Canada in an 18 wheeler not fun at all camper would be great .stay safe and enjoy
Yes, have crossed into Canada many times in my personal vehicle multiple times and am always nervous.
I saw that you crossed via Sumas, WA. That is a nice, scenic riute.
I would get a plan that doesn’t have data roaming. You went through our area of Washington. I could tell by the signs and the crossing. Just remember kilometers an hour just means really slow. Same as Australia.
We love the terminator look Carl/Kyle!!!😂 you'll be back!
I've been to Canada four times. The first two crossing were as a shortcut to Michigan from upstate NY, driving a modified VW Rabbit. The next two trips were travel to PEI from Maine in an ordinary pickup. Canadian Customs were much friendlier when we told them our visit was for tourism rather than a shortcut to another U.S. state. They like to hear that you have reservations at a destination. On the shortcut trips we were driving a fully striped (but street legal) race car with sponsor names, one of which was Heritage Firearms. They were okay when we explained that they'd just sponsored us for the event, which took place in the U.S. and didn't involve any firearms. We've never been RVing in Canada, but someday we want to go to Montreal to see some of the fireworks festival. For the speedometer, flip through the multi-function LCD screens in your GM dash cluster. One of them displays your speed in MPH or Km/H. (This was true for my 2014 Sierra and my current 2022 Silverado.)
I've been to the US a couple of times. Lots of gun nuts.
Hi at me thank you for sharing when you went from Michigan into Canada was it is beautiful at it as it is by the Rockies?
@@genevawilkerson4245 I can't comment about the view crossing at the rockies. I've only entered/exited Canada from Maine and New York.
We love you guys!! That includes Dexter!!
You can park here anytime you're in the Finger Lakes region in NY state!!
