ℹ️ RVers' Guide to Nova Scotia Travel

Weve been following you for several years. However, our rig was built overweight and found another way to travel. So how do you handle an overweight build so anything added makes us way more over weight. We spent a year, trying to talk with the manufacturer, nitsa, ALL the avenues we could find, to no avail. Any suggestions, as we want to get our rv life going.

What’s the books you used for Canada?

I have always wanted to drive the Trans-Labrador highway and see Nova Scotia, PEI, Cape Breton, NB and Quebec. I have those added to my bucket list. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.

Toll highways

May I ask what campground you stayed at when you took the Bay of Fundy boat tour? We are currently in NS and heading from Cape Brenton down that way. Thanks

I have a desire to move here

Hi just wanted to say thanks for the video on backing up (a few years ago). Backed up a few times now without too much trouble and no yelling.

Do go to Newfoudland. It is stunning. We did it last year with our trailer but we do recommend a class c or b , so many small fishing villages and things to see .
Whales 5 feet from shore to puffens icebergs and the home made baked goods and sea food is second to none

How long is the cabinet loop?

Spent time in my family history area of Cape Breton. St. Peters and Sampsonville NS.

Was a jab required when entering Canada?

Canada is great, eh! 🏒

Our winters in coastal Nova Scotia include lots of freezing and thawing which creates potholes in the roads. The winters in the rest of Canada, except coastal BC are colder so the roads do not heave so much. It is something we and visitors have to accept here, caused by our milder winters. Repairs in the summer are always happening somewhere in the province!

As a Canadian Nova Scotia is my favourite province.

Your presentation of Nova Scotia recap was outstanding 👏

Thank you for sharing. From another Canadian there is always a lot to see an little to time to do it in. My goal is to concentrate on 1 province at a time. As I get older and travel with my mother & aunt, we need more down time between attractions. It is always great watching your videos. Keep up the great work.

What a helpful recap of your Nova Scotia travels. Thank you!

Crossing the border - Whether it is as a traveller or when it comes to exports, the reasons for the questions related to plants and animals is to prevent the introduction of plant and animal diseases/pests (phytosanitary measures). While the USA has every reasons to be concerned with oranges, Canada not so much since it not being grown here. Both countries have a large poultry industry and, in 2022, saw many outbreaks of avian flu on both sides of the border. Even within each country, several movement restrictions were in place as farms were found infected. Firewood is also a high risk as dead/dying trees are cut and contributing to the movement of many forest pests (Emerald Ash Borer, etc.). We depend on agriculture and the environment for our food and employment. Let's be smart.

Great video very entertaining and informative. Keep it up 👍

Loved this series. Great job. Safe Travels Amigos 👊

Great info - love your travels! Judy & Steph aka Rebel

Thanks for making this video. I live in Calgary ab and haven’t been to the east coast yet . One day will rv across Canada and go see all the beautiful places of the east coast.

Sweet embrace for all the Canada & Countries subsiding in it through the thoroughfares of driveability‼️🏞️🛣️. Your energy & excitement was excellent in pervailing the scape of the land & water, reflection of Caleb, Trish & Mark .....

Nova Scotia is on my list! Not sure when but someday!

Newfoundland is worth the trip! If you go before the end of July you may see icebergs in iceberg alley. We spent 10 days meeting long lost family. Get screeched in ;)

I’ve been watching you guys for years. I actually drove by you in New Glasgow. Thank you for the kind review.

Excellent summary. Thank you. Trish, great narration. Mark: you've got to get a Hover X1. We love ours. What a game changer for filming. You should see if they will let you be a product evaluator. Battery life is short, so you'll need a few batteries for longer film time. It comes with 2 and we're ordering 2 more.

The Titanic didn't sink they're actually its sister ship the Olympic sunk there

Great Video! I enjoyed it!!

Take it easy AY !

Great video. My dad was a minister and spent time on Prince Edward Island years ago. I've never been there but this video makes me put it on my list of places to visit. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Thank you so much for the tips!!! ❤

35 minutes of driving is about my tap-out time too! 😂😂

Great suggestions for travel on the Canadian East Coast. I'd add in the Alexander Graham Bell museum and Louisburg as must dos on Cape Breton Island. Newfoundland, though ,you need 4 to 6 weeks to do it justice.

Thank you so special!

Great fun!

Love this recap of your amazing trip! Wonderful memories before Caleb goes back to school. Great narration Trish!

I am crossing the border from Windsor back into Detroit. The crossing agent says to me or at least sounds to me like he is saying, "Sit-and-Chip." After several times of me saying, "What," The crossing agent finally says, "Where do you live?" Now let me tell you, that he does not want your address."

I am sure the Nova Scotia tourism board will be in contact with you🤣. They will want to share your video..... as always you did an amazing job! Glad you got to experience a few different sights, sounds and tastes. It is great to watch these videos, sometimes we need a reminder of just how great it is here. My parents were big RVers and there really isn’t a part of Nova Scotia we didn’t touch, we even stayed on Oak Island! (Pretty sure you can’t do that now!).

Our 2020 F350 started doing all kinds of strange things on our spring trip. Dome lights coming on, DEF faults, collision avoidance off, all kinds of crazy stuff. Never once any error reported indicating low voltage from the batteries.
Finally, it didn't start one morning in Franklin, NC. I pulled the batteries and went to the parts house. One battery had a bad cell and the other was discharged. I was going to replace just one, but they made me a good deal on two, so I replaced both.

Installed the new batteries and VROOM! Big Booty Judy roared to life with zero errors!

keep the clips coming

These have been my favorite videos you have done. Thank you for all of this.

I really appreciate all the info you include in your videos about places you visit, this one was no different I hope you can make it back to Newfoundland in a few years it is indeed a beautiful province with so much to see but I would suggest seeing its my home province three weeks would be a decent time frame but still not enough time .:) We are are vast Island but would love to see you here and do believe you will truly enjoy when you do visit Safe travels.

What a terrific, informative video! Thank you. Waving hello from the 1000 Islands 🇨🇦

I was wondering if you would get to Oak Island. I'm a big fan..very interesting!

Thank y’all for a great video! And the trip information, that’s very helpful. Safe travels ❤

I love your videos. Thanks for sharing them and your travels 😊….. Lisa

We loved the gravel bike trails in Nova Scotia. No traffic and beautiful views. The Marsh trail near Halifax and the Celtic Coastal Trail in Cape Breton were great.

I just returned from 4 weeks touring Canada, in many of the same locations. It was nice to see in the video some of the places I also visited! I disagree with you about the roads, however. The Trans-Canada Highway is TERRIBLE! Patchy, potholes, and the big trucks have worn "ruts" in the road which cause your rig to bounce around as though it was in a windstorm! Loved Nova Scotia, especially the Cabot Trail and Halifax. I also enjoyed Louisbourg, with its recreation of pre-revolutionary life. Beautiful country, and a beautiful video. (As a retired video professional, I appreciate the work you put in to bring us a new video every Sunday!)

Put the pedal down Trish! God Speed!
