Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Aurie,

Welcome to the RV Dreams forums.  There are a lot of knowledgeable folks here dealing with just about every type of RV there is.  For the most part, they are all friendly and willing to answer questions.  Don't be surprised if you ask a specific question, but get other alternatives as well.

Good luck with the lifestyle.

Terry

Thank you Terry.

 

 This may sound pretty basic for you guys ... but here in Ontario, on our major highways we have truck weigh stations .. I have to admit i've never paid enough attention to notice but is this for commercial vehicles only or any truck trailer combinations ? Also , when crossing the border if a lane is not specified for Rv's which do we use ?

thank you again !

Here in the states RV's do not stop at the truck weighing stations, they are for commercial vehicles only.

As for the border crossings I will go in any lane provided that they look to have enough vertical clearance. If not, I use the truck lane. I've been chastised a few times, but what are they going to do, I'm there already. :)

I will concur with Fred (Luvglass) on the check stations, except that I know nothing about the ones in Canada.  For that answer, you may have to check with each province.

Oh, and Fred.  Really like your new avatar.  But, Jo may not appreciate it because it may attract the ladies.

(Just kidding.)

I guess I better know my height eh Fred ? LOL ... wasn't even thinking that one .. boy we have a lot to learn ! Janet and I plan on keeping it pretty simple this weekend .. We go to Buffalo to pick it up then haul it home .. my first test is crossing the Lewiston bridge then on up Hamilton mountain .. we say mountain but its just the steep pass of the Niagara escarpment. Still , should be a test of my pulling power.
