  • RV Living and RV traveling the USA this year was AMAZING, but we had to do something fun being back in Canada this year as well. Being born and raised in British Columbia, Canada it only felt right to top this year off with visiting VANCOUVER ISLAND for some beautiful RV camping. We've done the island before and LOVED it but this time we managed to actually book some more BC provincial park campgrounds in advance to see and we are so excited to see some new ones for ourselves.
    So if you enjoy the RV travel vlog and RV lifestyle videos you'll likely love British Columbia's Vancouver Island. The Canadian Rockies are amazing but the ocean and Island vibes out on the west coast of Canada are also worthy of consideration for when you are planning out your BC camping trip. Catching the ferry in our 30ft travel trailer here is just the start of this Canada RV vlog series and we hope you enjoy seeing the rest of the Island with us. And if you REALLY love it we also did a lot of camping and free camping on Vancouver Island in our Season 2 of RV living playlist. Cheers friends!

    I liked the shot in the truck when Chloe was looking at herself on camera. She has a cute little voice.

      She's saying so much more now too! She seems to be picking up words and copying everything so well lately. Such a little sweetie 😄🍁

    WOW! Chloe is growing so quickly. I think all the outdoor air has been good for her. She’s precious.

      It's been quite the environment to grow up in for her hey. Going to be fun showing her all her baby photos and videos of the places she's been!🍁

    Hi guys, by adding a receiver hitch to the front of your vehicle, you can push your trailer into the spot instead of backing in

    My wife and I camped at little qualicum falls back in 1988. A beautiful spot indeed, close to Qualicum Beach, Parksville and Coombs. At that time, it was located next to the E & N rail line to Port Alberni (now abandoned) and was a great place to hear trains passing.

      We had to find something fun to do after the USA and what better than the Island again hey! Still would love to do all the little island loops you guys have down in Washington too someday though. Hopefully now with more border luck we can do more shorter stints across the border. Living on 4ish hours to either end of the BC border we would have lots of options but just have always been hesitant to plan around border approvals. We'll see! Cheers Lori 🙂🍁

    2:10 mark: Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal has 3 different routes operating from it. As you arrived, it was the Langdale (Sunshine Coast) ferry that was unloading its traffic.
    Hey, welcome back to Vancouver Island. I look forward to seeing this series of videos. Cheers from Nanaimo :)

    Good job driving on & off the ferry - we’ve driven our car on ferries, but have never towed on. I lived on a boat for 30 years, but ferries ? 🥺

    • @LukeandAlysha
      @LukeandAlysha  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was pretty straight forward just a cozy little squeeze making sure you line it up all right haha. Boat life sounds pretty fun though! When I was a kid my family took a multi night boat camping trip out near Vancouver Island and I still have so many memories of it. Maybe someday we'll do something like that!🍁

    Guys , just watching the video now and noticed that it sounded like you travel with your propane turned on. This is a big no no, not only dangerous but it could also void your insurance if there's an accident. Please take care and have a great time on the island.
