This past weekend we were delighted to be visiting Toronto to take in the largest RV show in Canada – the Toronto Spring Camping & RV Show. We’ve been to a few RV shows in the past but nothing ever quite like this one. It was hosted at the Internation Centre in Mississauga where they jammed 5 massive halls with over 500 RVs in all shapes and sizes. There truly was something for everyone at this show. There was also an 11,000 sq ft parts & accessories location where we spent plenty of time eyeing up some new gadgets and accessories for our RV. What was really exciting for us was th ..read more

Tips For Buying A Used RV
Full Time Canada
by Adam Doolittle
4y ago
Recently we wrote about whether you should buy a new or used RV. Buying a used RV has many benefits compared to that of a new one. The cost is a big one as you can save many thousands of dollars when buying a used RV over a new one. While you may save a lot of money when purchasing a used RV you may also be buying a giant money trap if you’re not careful when buying. Used RVs are often well-used and have gone through lots of maintenance and still could have underlying issues that maybe even the current owner doesn’t know about. We’ve now been in our RV for 4 years and looking back, while I ..read more

Is it time? Are you finally looking into buying an RV? If you are, you’re exactly where we were 4 years ago at this time when we purchased our first RV. Like buying a car, an RV is a big investment and a lot of consideration should be taken when it comes to figuring out what RV to buy. Before you even start to look at RV’s you need to know whether you’re looking to buy a new or used RV. So let’s look into which RV is right for you. Research & Planning When we purchased our RV we did a lot of research before we even started going to RV dealers to look at RVs. We spent endless hours on ..read more

Replacing Our RV Mattress

I knew it was time for a new RV mattress when I got into bed one night and I felt a coil in my back. Adam and I flipped the mattress but after sleeping for two-years full-time on our mattress that came with the RV we knew it was time to get a replacement. Our old RV mattress was almost 9 years old and came with our RV when we bought it used in 2016. RV mattresses are typically thin, between 4-6 inches, with coils and they are cheap. We were actually surprised that we managed as long as we did with our RV mattress without replacing it. It certainly wasn’t as terrible as we were expecting. T ..read more

12 Ways You Can Become a Greener RVer
Full Time Canada

Even as a full-time RVer you can make a difference and make some changes that will protect our growingly fragile planet. Every day we see eye-opening images & video and read tragic news stories about how our planet is changing for the worse. It is time for change and time to become a greener RVer. The main villain – plastic! A sea bird with a plastic ring around its head, pieces of plastic washing up on the beach, whales dying from eating plastic. It’s a horrible reality in our oceans. We are running out of room in landfills for all of the plastics that we use. We think by recycling we ..read more

8 Pieces of Advice for Newbie Full-Time RVers
Full Time Canada

Becoming a full-time RVer is overwhelming. Getting rid of all of your stuff, understanding how an address affects your health care and residency in different provinces, living in a home that will eventually leak, and trying to figure out how to make it all work are some of the things that we wondered about before setting off. Sitting in our little house in New Brunswick in July 2015, knowing that we were about to venture into a fairly uncommon way of living in Canada, we would have loved to have had some advice from fellow full-time RVers.  The one thing I want you to know is that if ..read more

3 Repairs We Made To Our RV in 2019
Full Time Canada
by Kate McCallum
4y ago
This year was a year that our 2008 Heartland Sundance started to show her age.  RV’s, while economical, are not made with materials that are meant to last. Most RVs (including ours) aren’t meant to be lived in full-time. The full-time use of an RV allows for some materials/fixtures to wear or break quicker than if you only use your RV on the odd weekend. This means that over time certain materials or fixtures will have to be replaced or repaired. Some of these fixes are cheap and quick while others are definitely more on the pricey side. Slide Replacements It’s true when they say, “it ..read more

Vancouver Island is a beautiful place to RV and for a lot of families, it can be tough to find the right RV park.
