Don’t plan on finding big truck stops like Flying J, etc, they don’t exist. CanPetrol is the closest. Don’t stop at the CO-OP’s you have to be a member. Canandian pumps don’t take credit cards that do not have pin # associated with them. However, go inside and they accept them at the counter, otherwise, its debit cards at the pump. They will want you to pre-pay for what you think you need.
DEF carry as much extra as you can. I’ve payed $30 for a jug. Tractor Supply & O’Reilly’s have the best prices on the US side of the boarder. If you can find Canadian stations with Def Pumps, use them, it is really cheap.
Canadian Cash: ATM, just like home.
Roads: once past Ft Nelson are marginal. Speed: 45 to 55 on the good parts.
Toy hollers: consider extra leaf springs.
Roadside rest: not like US, some a just wide pull offs after Watson Lake.
I drove form southern NM in a 2017 Ram 3500 pulling a 3160 Montana 5th wheel. No Problems. New tires all around.
Have Fun
