Quote: Orion, one gets a different variety back east.
Well sure, there is some variety back there, but nowhere even close to what we have around here. Those features that I mentioned, Islands, mountains, glaciers, forgot about the volcanoes,high mountain lakes, alpine meadows, grasslands,forgot about the vineyards! deserts, canyons & whitewater are all visible in a 1200KM loop from Victoria to Kelowna via Hwy 3 and back through Kamloops.
I don't know where you could get that kind of variety in a similarly sized trip anywhere in the East.

This does vary from person to person, but cities themselves are normally not a big attraction to folks from the UK. They have enough of them over there and ours are rather pale by comparison.
However visitors from the UK may enjoy a few hours at the mall in somewhere like Tonawanda near Buffalo,NY, a huge shopping mecca for Canadians. I remember a few years ago a survey asked of German RV renters, as to what did they want to see the most and the answer, Bears!

Just did a google maps route for you to see much of Ontario/NY state. Its was = Toronto - Niagara - Syracuse,NY - Watertown ,NY - Ottawa - Algonquin - Bobcaygeon - Toronto. It ended up to be 1267 km. To shave some kms off you could stay south of Algonquin but that would be a shame. IMHO this route would really give you the flavour of the area.

You may find it difficult to rent a tv for a week.
Bear in mind that if your motorhome does not have a generator and you camp at non-serviced campgrounds the tv will need to be 12dc.
If you are taking a laptop with you why not buy a plug-in tv tuner for it, they only cost about $40-50. It's probably best to buy it in Canada or US to ensure it's compatable with their broardcast systems.
You could ask suppliers here if there is one that is internationally compatable.

Yes, I too have been wondering if he got any plans made. Most of the suggestions would not meet his 1000 km. criteria. I can't imagine an rv not coming equipped with a television either.
