If this is not the right forum, I apologize.<br><br>
We are considering purchasing a tent trailer for an upcoming trip and would love advice. Our family has never taken a vacation, apart from weekend camping, so we are pretty excited!<br><br>
Our trip: Toronto area to the east coast of Canada for 15-16 days. We will be stopping at the following places:<br><br>
-Boston area, including Salem<br>
-Bar Harbor Maine for cat ferry to Nova Scotia<br>
-Nova Scotia for a few days<br>
-Ferry to PEI, PEI for a few days<br>
-New Brunswick for a few days<br>
-Around Edmundston for the night<br>
-Quebec City for the night and day<br>
-Home again (whew!)<br><br>
We would like to camp with the tent trailer with stays in Kejimkevik National Park, PEI National Park, Acadia National Park, and Bay of Fundy National Park, and a few others for a day only each.<br><br>
It's a bit ambitious, with two 10 hour driving days, but the other days we either stay put or drive 2-4 hours. It is meant to be a road trip, rather than just arriving at a destination and staying there.<br><br>
The trailer we are considering buying is a 2005 Palomino Yearling with a 12 foot box. We want to keep it for many, many years, and want something big enough for a friend or two to tag along with our family of four (so far!).<br><br>
We will cook our own food mostly (to cut down on cost).<br><br>
Any information on bears in these areas? Any experience in these campsites? Anything else? Packing lists to share? Thanks!<br><br>
