We cross the border often and wee had no idea Canadian border folks would store weapons. My advise is to purge the RV and truck No firearms, bullets, clips, holster anything that might be identified as maybe you have a firearm. You will have a very bad day if detained.
"In all cases, travelers must declare to Canadian Customs authorities any firearms and weapons in their possession when entering Canada. There are often facilities near border crossings where weapons may be stored, pending the traveler's return to the United States, but this should be done before attempting to enter Canada.
NOTE:Canadian law requires that officials seize firearms and weapons from those crossing the border who deny having them in their possession. Seized firearms and weapons are never returned.
"Storing your weapon at the U.S. or Canadian Border
It is not possible to store your guns at the U.S. or Canadian border crossing. If you want to check your firearms into storage you must do it before you get to the border crossing. One of the more popular recommendations for doing this is to rent a local safety deposit box. You can also look up the gun shop nearest to the border crossing you intend to use, and call them to see if they have any recommendations specific to their town.

Again, we stored ours at the border crossing, Canadian side. Folks were pretty nice about it. Declared it, it was unloaded and in the fiver, were told we could not bring in, I indicated we would have to cancel our visit, and they offered to store for us, and there was no charge. Should add however significant differences concerning gun ownership between the two countries,
