Dwayne and Leigh O’Quinn of Breton, Alberta, introduced Dwayne’s mother, Bernadette, to British Columbia. Bernadette lives in St. George’s, Newfoundland. We asked the O’Quinns a few questions about their holiday experience.

Why did you choose to stop here at Fairmont Hot Springs?

Leigh: We’ve been coming here for the past five years—we love it here.

Bernadette: I love it, too. It’s beautiful.

What do you love about RVing, specifically?

Leigh: I like having my own stuff around me—my own bed and my own kitchen.

Dwayne: It feels really relaxed. We are able to ignore the clock—we don’t even wear watches when we’re here.

An RV called home

The Parkins snowbird in Mexico each winter, but leave the RV they call home back in Canada. After five years, Janel has lots of experience and advice.
