Welcome to Canada

We'd been advised about what you're allowed to bring into Canada and we'd heard stories about some people who had their RVs searched at the border crossing.  We were told about produce being confiscated, and on advice we received, we used up the fresh produce we had and planned on replenishing our supplies after we entered Canada.   For days we worried about having things in our home strewn about during a search -- not that we had anything to hide -- and how much time the border crossing would take.

In the end, we showed our passports, supplied the license number of the car we were towing, stated where we were going, the border agent smiled, was friendly and wished us a good trip, and we were across the border into Canada in less than five minutes.  All our worries about searches and confiscations were for naught.  We looked at each other in surprise and asked "That's it???"
