Day Forty-Nine

This is the day that I finally cross back into Canada, my home, and I am so close that if I just went for it I’d be in my bed tonight. This is where I have to behave like an adult and do the right thing.

I called ahead and spoke with the service manager of my RV dealer. He thinks he may be able to fix all my warranty issues while I wait. That remains to be seen.

The weather was much better today. No rain but very windy.

As I travel east the gas prices and the camping fees go up. Last night my campground cost me $50 after my KOA discount. This is absurd considering all I got was a place to park with wifi, electricity, water and a sewer. How can one man use enough of any of these benefits to justify the charge?

This was just a long day at the wheel. I reached the US/Canada border and naturally picked up a bottle of vodka at the duty-free shop. My Nexus card really helps when crossing the border. They kind of assume that you’re a low-risk citizen since you’ve been vetted by the RCMP and FBI.

Once the border crossing was behind me the next hurdle was surviving the Toronto traffic. Did you know that Toronto traffic congestion is the worst of all cities in North America? GOOGLE IT.

I arrived at the RV dealer in Whitby, Ontario just after 7:00 pm. Ryan, their service manager, had left out a 30 amp. extension cord for me so I could power the trailer for my overnight stay in their parking lot.

The plan is for me to spend the night in their parking lot so they can resolve my warranty issues first thing in the morning. Doing this on my way home made so much sense as I won’t have to bring it back later for these needed repairs.

I had a nice quiet evening . I was a bit torn though because here I was only a couple of hours away from my home but here I am again trying to do the most practical thing.
