Our New HomeAfter we’d bought everything, we asked again at the border as we were bringing the Georgetown back into Canada. The officer’s response was somewhat reassuring and somewhat concerning: it was basically that “nine out of ten times, you’ll be fine.” The only wrinkle is that since the motorhome is technically owned by a company, taking it into Canada to show family could be viewed as a commercial trip. Worst case, we could be denied entry. We won’t be fined or penalized, but we could be turned around. Let’s hope we don’t draw the wrong agent on the wrong day.Our New Home
