Border Crossing – May 22, 2013

We crossed into Canada spending the night in Chilliwack, BC. While still set up in Anacortes WA, David went outside to check the propane level in our tanks, he saw a bulge in one of our 4 hydraulic lines which feed each of the four slide outs. A bulge would delay our trip until repaired and line replaced.

Called around and most mobile RV service techs are all booked thru Memorial Day. Since Camping World is familiar with our RV, we called them and pleaded our case. They found an opening and asked that we bring it in ASAP. Well this meant that we put every thing away, which we thought had 24 hours to do, and prepare for moving the RV. Camping world is about 20 miles west off of I5. We rushed, put things away, disconnected utilities and hooked the RV to the truck all in record time, about 1 and 1/2 hours, arriving at Camping World at 10am.

We went out for breakfast and waited for what we thought would be a dreaded call. At 1230 we received the call. The RV was repaired and at a reasonable cost. Now comes the decision do we go back to Anacortes for the night or drive into Canada and spend the night. Driving would mean that we would need to find a location to store the Acura. Plans are not to drive the truck and car. We found storage and were on the road by 4pm. Arrived in Chilliwack at 6:30 which included a 45 minute delay at the border.
