The RV: One Of The Best Ways To See The Entire Country
If you are a Canadian, you may notice that every year around the beginning of June, large quantities of RVs seem to hit the roads. The weather is nice, the flowers are blooming, the grass is green and it is just the perfect time of year to get that RV out. Many Canadians view the RV as a neat way to see the rest of the country. Retired folk often spend large chunks of cash on top of the line RVs with all the gimmicks and spend most of their summers riding the open road from Newfoundland to British Columbia.

We have never done anything like this before, so we thought that it may be fun.

REMEMBER, liquid propane is a gas, it is stored under pressure, it is flammable, and IT CAN BE DANGEROUS.
