Winter: Travel during winter months is permitted. However freezing conditions may occur in Spring and Fall at higher elevations and should be anticipated and precautionary measures taken. Clients are responsible for any damage due to systems freezing or cold weather. As a precautionary measure, water may be replaced by anti-freeze to prevent water systems from freezing. Clients are then not allowed to use any water systems, including the toilet or shower, until they have travelled to consistently above zero temperatures. In the event the clients want to replace the anti-freeze with water the client may be charged up to $150 to re-winterize or de-winterize the vehicle. Special instructions may be given at the rental counter.

Summer: Travel in summer months and /or in extreme temperatures can strain motor home systems such as roof and dash air conditioners, generator and refrigerator. We maintain our motor home fleet to accommodate all weather conditions; however, clients should be made aware that performance of motor home systems under extreme conditions cannot be guaranteed. Roof A/C units will only cool the interior of the motorhome up to a maximum of 20 degrees cooler than the outside temperature.

Ontario / Quebec: Due to increased incidence of theft, motorhomes are not allowed to be left unattended within the cities of Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec City. We recommend leaving the motorhome parked at a campground and use taxis or public transportation. Details available at pick up location. Clients planning on travelling in these areas must inform rental station prior to departure.
