2017 Reader’s Choice Awards
Once again, we have surveyed our readers—a keen group of RVers if ever there was one—to determine their favourites in both Canada and the United States. From destinations to dealerships, events to attractions, this list is a great starting point if you're wanting ideas for future travels.
RVers can greatly benefit from recommendations on where to buy, sell or service their RVs or where to purchase insurance.
Have you heard of the Carrot Festival in California? Been to some of the wonderful lakes in the Prairie provinces? Do you take advantage of all the great information at visitor centres?
Pursue this list of awards and start planning your next RV trip. Happy travelling!
