In 1988 I crossed the Arctic Circle with a Mountie who was on his way to a posting in Inuvik. He and his family were traveling in a pickup camper. My photos aren't clear enough to check whether the truck had official markings or not.
On the return leg we traveled with a bunch of small Fiats with roof top tents. Apparently one group of Italians had driven them north, and another was making the return trip to Vancouver. At one campground there was a bus with a multiple roof top tents. I think it was a German group.
On my last vacation, the neighboring couple at Tunnel Mtn (Banff) were Australians on a 3mth tour of BC, Alaska, and Alberta. They had bought a used minivan, and were camping in that. They had driven the Dempster as far as Tombstone. After Banff they were planning on spending the last month on Vancouver Island.
