How to get your RV to Vancouver Island || Booking with BC Ferries 

Having lived on Vancouver Island and several Gulf Islands for 40 or so years, ferry travel is such a normal, routine part of life that I forget others aren't as familiar with the process . It's fun to watch other people's experience what we take for granted. Hope you enjoyed the island!

Congratulations on the 3K subscriber mark. You've earned it with humour, good locations and lots of info (which must require a fair amount of research in advance). Safe and happy travels for you three!

Great video you two! We so enjoyed our travels on these ferries back when we had our truck camper! Safe travels and I’ll look forward to seeing your next adventure 💙

Great Video. Love BC ferry rides. Such a scenic area.

Very informative. Thanks! Planning a trip to the island next year.

Great info - Thanks

BC ferry looks very nice, ive been on the Tobermory/Manitoulin island ferry, I found the 2 to be quite similar, its nice to know taking the travel trailer across went well with no issues, great video thank you

Wow this was so helpful! We’ve have always wanted to visit there and it would be sweet to take our Motorhome! Thank you and cheers!

Loved this... All too familiar as we take these ferries often. I don't think you would have needed to re-schedule because of your length measurement. If you are within five feet you are OK. I had same issue a couple weeks ago, heading to Salt Spring Island.

You can also get to Vancouver Island by taking the Gulf Islands ferry from Tsawwassen and visiting these Islands before taking a another ferry to Vancouver Island

And they only allow you 3 propane bottles don't travel any more they will take them away Can't wait to see some video of the island I miss it Marj hated it We were in the Winter though so is different,

Wow - we had no idea you had to be so specific about your vehicle and trailer length on BC Ferries. Always figured if you selected wrong, they would just charge you more at check-in, not make you change your entire booking. Funny cause when we took our SUV Camper on the Alaska ferry, we had to specify our vehicle length to the closest foot, which we’re not used to doing on BC Ferries.

Hi! If you have an early morning departure can you sleep in the parking lot the night before you load the ferry?

I'm so sorry for Canada. Most things about a good Canada are not true, Including clean cities - beaches, and forests. It's a big lie. The first time I arrived in Vancouver in 2018, I was shocked. As soon as I left the airport door, I saw tissue, disposable glasses, and other garbage left in the city. The further I went, the more I saw them. Before I moved to Canada, I lived in Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Serbia, The United States, and for a short time in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Netherlands, Germany, and England, but I have never seen the amount of garbage that people leave in different Canadian cities. Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec are no less than Vancouver. Canadian and Canada Governments don't care about this tragedy. I think everything that says about Canada as a clean and powerful culture is not true. You don't need to travel to Canada to see this. Just watch some videos about walking in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec. You will find the truth. Impossible for you to walk in a Canadian city and you don't see the dark side of that. Everywhere you will see garbage. You will never see this in Europe, Australia, the United States, Japan, and Korea. This amount of waste is not even seen in Malaysian, Indonesian, or Thailand cities. It is impossible for you to use public transport and not see a lot of garbage at stations or on the route. You will be surprised to find a lot of garbage even in the woods - by the rivers and on the beaches in Canada. I wish the Canadians woke up and had no enmity with their country. To be fair, I randomly looked at videos from downtown Manchester and Concord in New Hampshire - Philadelphia - Detroit - Chicago - New York - Baltimore - Denver - Nashville, and Knoxville in the United States, and Toronto - Quebec - Montreal - Winnipeg - Calgary - Vancouver - Victoria - Ottawa and Thunder Bay in Canada. we should be fair. The bitter truth must be accepted. Without any exaggeration. Completely impartial. I have to say that I didn't see a single piece of garbage in any of the US videos to convince myself. Without exaggeration, in all Canadian cities, there must have been a piece of garbage on the ground less than every hundred meters. It must have an important reason. I do not know. But this is a bitter truth. You can try. This country should be brought closer to its exaggerated claim. the truth is bitter. Certainly, some Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and even Malaysia are much cleaner compared to Canada. Of course, we should not forget that Canada claims to be one of the 10 cleanest countries in the world. And Vancouver claims to be one of the 5 cleanest cities in the world. Please go to East Hastings or Victoria Drive or Commercial Drive or West Georgia or Broadway or Main Street and judge for yourself. I am 50 years old and have traveled to 26 countries. Canada is far from its claims. I saw, homeless people, pooping and peeing everywhere and it's so common. nobody cares. I was shocked again. I endured for 3 years but every day going worst. late in 2022, I decided to move to the east because I thought that place has a stronger culture. I chose Montreal. I had heard it is the capital of art and civilization in Canada. it was absolutely wrong. Canada is Canada. I was shocked again, again, and again. the wave of homelessness, graffiti, vandalism, bad smell, terrible infrastructure especially roads in or out of the city, and above all, you can see trash everywhere. plastic bags, tissues, water bottles, and disposable cups. You cannot see any street or park or public place without these. This is impossible. surprisingly nobody cares. neither the people nor the government!!!!!!! please, don't be fooled by the advertisement about a good Canada. please, be careful. most of the things about a good Canada are deception This country is disappointing. Please, Please, Please, don't immigrate to Canada you would regret it absolutely. this is not a developed country, Canada is a developing country with huge serious problems.
