Tips On Packing For Your Self-Drive Holiday in Canada

Planning to visit Canada? We have prepared some tips on what to bring for your Canadian self-drive holiday as well as a Camping Checklist so you don't miss a single item.

Be ready for anything


It's bound to be cold in Canada, although you can still look forward to some sunny days (unless you're traveling in Winter). Pack a jacket or sweater and thick socks, and a swimsuit just in case you find a nice lake or swimming pool to take a dip in. You may not be able to use it, but then again, you never know.

First Aid


Most RV rental companies provide first aid kits, but it is always best to bring your own bandages, analgesics and antibacterial creams.

Don't forget your cellphone


Although we wouldn't want you to use it while driving. A mobile phone ensures that you can contact the authorities or assistance in case of accidents or breakdowns.

Electronic Chargers!


Remember to pack your chargers for your mobile phone, tablets, camera, MP3 players etc. To be safe, make sure your chargers have their own adaptors so you can plug them into the campervan. Travel adaptors or travel converter kits would come in handy.

No hard luggage, please!


Most RVs have an exterior storage compartment, but for extra safety, you can store your bags under the seats. In this case, it would be best to use soft or collapsible luggage.

Cash or credit?


Keep in mind that the security bond for your motorhome rental would need to be charged from a credit card. You can use cash for other expenses, but you will present a credit card for the bond upon vehicle pick up. Don't leave home without it.

Forget about bringing your kitchen


Same for the pillows, sheets and blankets. RV rental operators understand that you might be coming from overseas and offer these for free or for a small fee.

Most of our motorhome operators in Canada also want to make sure you don't have to worry about too many things, so they've included camping essentials like picnic chairs, GPS and portable heaters to their packages.
