RE: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI
One relatively new attraction in New Brunswick is in St Martins on the Bay of Fundy. Its called the Fundy Trail and its a provincial park and they charge an entry fee, but its one of the most scenic drives for 15 kilometers that you can find. Lots of pull off parking spaces with beautiful hiking trails. Not for a foggy day though. Nice campround right in St Andrews if the time allows. This trail is not for an RV, leave them in the campground.
As an interesting note, I think you can hike to the Hearst Family Lodge while on the trail and supposedly that is where they took Patti Hearst to de program her??? Its definitely in the middle of no where.

RE: Wash DC to Niagara Falls?
If you have your passports and rabies vaccination for any cats or dogs you should have no problem. We cross over back and forth in our MH all the time. When you re enter the US make sure if you have an citrus fruit that it says Florida or some other US state. There are a few foods you can't bring into Canada but its nothing major. You can ggogle the Canadian Government web site to get restrictions. One item you can't bring easily are fire arms. Our rules are quite strict here. If you do cross over at Buffalo for Niagara Falls, then you can continue to Sarnia-Port Huron where you can cross over and have easy access down I 69 to I94 to I 90.

RE: Six flags in Arlington TX
Traders Village is relatively close to Six Flags and friends of ours have stayed there many times.
Next door is the massive flea market.

RE: First Purchase and now first trip!!!
Congrats on your new MH. Its hard to take short trips to try out the MH when you are in the north and want to get south. LOL
The driveway experience is great and the second night you want to be near a Walmart for all the items you forgot. We have all experienced this so don't worry. Since you are in freezing temps, do NOT put water in until you are at least 1/2 way south and when you know you will be warm the next night.
We love our Georgetown and hope you have a great time with yours.

RE: Our visit to the Bay of Fundy and Hopewell Rocks
One not to forget to see in south New Brunswick is the Fundy Trail. Its a linear Provincial park which starts in St Martins NB and follows the coast for maybe 15 miles. It is a very scenic trip as long as no fog.
There is a nice campground a few miles from the entrance to the park.
Also there is agreat take out-eat in restaurant right at the cove in St Martins. Its the Cave and it has great sea food. Be careful to check as there are two restaurants back to back in the same building and we can recommend the Cave one.
While in Saint John NB, you can camp right in town at Rockwood Park and for sure see the City Market and a newer feature is the Irving Nature park on the west side of town. Its another very scenic part of the city to tour around.
I can send you an invite to view pictures of this area if you PM me. I lived in this area of New Brunswick for 20+ years and still have family there.

RE: Canada Hwy 1
Once you cross over into New Brunswick, and hopefully you will do it at the new border crossing a couple miles north of the town of Calais, its all divided highway in New Brunswick all the way to Saint John. Easy drive and some nice views of the water at some locations.

RE: What happened to Champion?
A litle more background. Firan was a division of the Canadian RV manufacturer Glendale which was in business for over 40 years. They were the manufacturer of the Titanium 5th wheels which were also sold in the US.
The company was owned by a Mr Firestone who lives in Ontario, and who was one of the Firestone Tire Company family when it broke up.
Firan US was in business for a few years and made 3 or 4 models of Class A motorhomes, Europremier, Covington and a couple other names.
I believe the moulds were sold to upstart Forest River when they started to build Motorhomes. The original Georgetown MH's from the late 90's had the same front and rear cap as the last Firan models.
Mr Firestone sold the Glendale company to a management group a few years back and they survived for a few years, but sadly they finally went bankrupt a few years back (4-5) I think.

RE: Forest River Georgetown
The oval style doors are found in the entry level Georgetowns. The Xl version has the complete panel doors that in newer units actually swing open to the side now. Our 03 Georgetown has the complete doors as in the XL model but they swing up. I think the less expensive model came out in the 05-06 era?? Not sure about that, but for sure in 03-04 only one version was available.
Ours is 10 years old as we bought it new and we are very happy with it and would buy another without any question. We toured the factory 3 years ago and like what we saw there too.
Our 03 version had all the options that were available at the time, including a manifold water system.
Good luck.

RE: Ontario with 13 year old
Hoping for at least one visit to the Kitchener Waterloo area, and the Mennonite sites here.
Sorry we missed you last year. The first two weeks of July are already booked for us to go to Iowa, but rest of summer close to home.

RE: Chicago to Nova Scotia - Best Route-traffic/road-wise
We do the same thing, filling up in the Cornwall area of Ontario and then the first possible place we stop is at the Irving Big Stop in Riviere du Loup. At that location we fill up again. We find the drive from west to east as the most scenic for views as we follow the St Lawrence River.
There is a new by pass for Montreal that starts soon after the Quebec border and joins back up after the south shore of Montreal. It was not open during our last visit, but hear it is open now??

RE: Chicago to Nova Scotia - Best Route-traffic/road-wise
I would recommend the same thing, go out through Canada and come back through the USA.
We have driven both directions using both routes many times.

RE: Quebec City
Just a note when we did our tour from the KOA, others from Transit had to drive to a parking lot to meet the tour van there. When they saw us get on right at the campground they commented they wished they had stayed at the KOA.
We have stayed at Transit twice and yes they try to accomodate in English. The front 50% of the campground would be seasonals I would guess.
We prefer the KOA.

RE: Ottawa campgrounds
We stayed at Recreationland many times when we were still in Quebec. Its a decent campground and the Transit is available at a large shopping center which maybe 5 miles in towards the city. Can leave car there and get right down town.
