[@laurielabrie5038]

[@KeithandDev]

Thanks so much! We really appreciate your support ♥️

[@pascalfo6014]

[@KeithandDev]

That’s very kind of you Pascal, thanks, and will do :)

[@ANonymous-rx6lu]

My kids and I are driving from Alaska to Maine through Canada this Summer (and back.) We're so excited and I've really been enjoying your videos, thank you for your fun channel!!

[@KeithandDev]

Wow that’s amazing! We have always wanted to go to Alaska and see the territories, you are going to have an incredible. It’s a long drive but totally worth it :) thanks so much for your comment it means a lot to us 🥰 we hope you have a great trip!

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

We drove across Canada from Calgary in 2016 & since I grew up driving the TransCanada & Yellowhead, we drove just south of the TransCanada & it was so worth it! The Yellowhead from Manitoba to Prince George in BC is also scenic.

[@KeithandDev]

Thanks for the tips Elizabeth, we will defiantly have to try that route next time :)

[@TheAwkwardSalmon]

Super helpful! Thank you so much!

[@KeithandDev]

We are so happy it was helpful for you :)

[@xFIyz]

i didn't know u need a national parks pass !! im preparing for summer 2023 thansk for all the tips !

[@KeithandDev]

We would totally recommend getting one! You can buy day passes when you get there but if you plan to hit more than one park the pass is totally worth it :) happy we could help!

[@ellenseyers5021]

Thanks for the great tips!! Your trip looked amazing

[@KeithandDev]

Thanks so much for watching, and for your support :) we are glad you liked them! ♥️

3:25 where is that location? Looks familiar, just can't remember.

[@valeriamarrerodiaz1731]

0:05 where’s the yellow cornfield? or plant located at?

[@KeithandDev]

We believe that was on Saskatchewan:)

[@Vancouver_Ohi]

OMG! This is the piece that I wanted to learn which no youtuber never told me! Many tips and all the scenes you showed were so helpful a lot. I want to have same road trip like you soon:)

[@KeithandDev]

We are so happy you found our video helpful!! :) Hopefully you are able to do a road trip across Canada soon :)

[@eprohoda]

So interesting!!:))

[@KeithandDev]

Thanks!! 😊

[@valeriamarrerodiaz1731]

had me at book ahead of time (everything!)

[@rockyandsarah]

We bought our Canada park pass just because of your video🥰

[@KeithandDev]

That’s so exciting! We hope you enjoy visiting them!! They are all so beautiful 🥰

[@valeriamarrerodiaz1731]

0:02 and what does CN mean?

[@KeithandDev]

CN stands for Canadian National Railway

[@My_Sunrise]

You forgot the east coast tho! Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland ---> It's gorgeous.

[@KeithandDev]

Yes your right, we have been to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI and Keith is from Quebec. We just didn’t have time on this trip. We have not yet been to Newfoundland but it’s definitely on our list!

[@My_Sunrise]

@KeithandDev Québec is beautiful! Lookout for the Fjord of Saguenay and Les Grands Jardins in Charlevoix.

[@kevinandange]

Great video. Thanks for all the information 👍

[@KeithandDev]

Thank you so much! We hope it was helpful :)

[@kevinandange]

@@KeithandDev it was , thanks heaps. Can you give an opinion for what kind of car to hire for winter. We want to drive From Toronto to Quebec but being from Australia we don't have much experience with snow. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks 😊

[@KeithandDev]

@@kevinandange Hi guys! Yeah Toronto to Quebec in the winter is an easy drive. Don’t drive at night if you don’t need to, and check the weather radar to see about incoming snowfall as you drive. The roads get cleared and salted really quickly too as long as your not in the middle of a storm. In terms of good vehicles, id recommend any van or SUV (quebecois love their awd Subaru if you plan on really being in the snow). Naturally winter tires will be installed. Hope this helps! Quebec and Montreal in the snow are truly amazing.

[@kevinandange]

@@KeithandDev thanks for your reply. We're planning on hiring from toronto, will they still install winter tyres in toronto? When will you guys head back to Canada?

[@KeithandDev]

@@kevinandange if you are renting the car during the winter months ( anytime between November and March I would say) it should automatically have them already on. You could ask to be sure but almost all cars in Ontario and Quebec will have winter tires for those months so I assume rentals would as well :) we are planning to head back to Canada in December and travel until then! :)

[@juliagammon9691]

I know you guys said you didn't test your build before you went on the trip, so I was just curious what kind of changes you would have made to the build?

[@KeithandDev]

Hey Julia, thanks so much for watching our video. That’s a hard question, we were really happy with how it turned out (minus our stove breaking 😂). In terms of the actual van, our bug net set up, we didn’t use very much and honestly kept falling apart so maybe finding a better solution for that. Keith did hit his head off the roof many times in bed, so mentioned that it would be nice to lower it. But that would mean less storage space, so in the end I think we would keep the height, in order to have the storage :) I hope that kind of answered your question!

[@MichaelNoon]

Ok I’m confused where you can wildcamp in a camper van in Banff I’m thinking of visiting from uk but I’m reading wildcamping is not Permitted

[@KeithandDev]

It’s not permitted to wild camp in most places and especially National parks. We stayed outside of Banff on a lake with other wild campers. There are apps like iOverlander to help with this! Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

[@laurie5396]

Well done :)

[@KeithandDev]

Thank you! ♥️

[@MonTube2006]

The stretch between Pemberton and Lillooet is sketchy for sure. Even in the daytime

[@KeithandDev]

Scariest part of our drive for sure!!

[@T3PER]

Any advice if you do need to bang it out in a week to relocate for a job?

[@KeithandDev]

You can do the Prairies in 1 or 2 days (not much to see) and take your time in the Rockies :)

[@markus11148]

Do you have any type of itinerary or list of some of the amazing places you stopped at?

[@KeithandDev]

Unfortunately we don't yet, you'll have to follow along the vlogs from the road trip for that one but it's a good idea for us to do on our website. Stops included: Bruce Peninsula NP, Manitoulin Island, Marathon, Sleeping Giant PP, Thunderbay, Fort Francis, Kenora, Falcon Lake, Winnipeg, Fort Qu'Appelle, Regina, Grasslands NP, Dinosaur PP, Calgary, Exmoor, Banff NP (Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Bow Lake), Golden (Glacier NP), Revelstoke (Yoho NP), Kelowna, Whistler, Vancouver, and White Rock. Thanks for watching! Hope this helps! :)

Lesson for making a KZbin video: Never have the (totally unnecessary, insipid) background music so loud that any speech over it is unintelligible. 🙄😖

[@KeithandDev]

Hi Andrew, this video was pretty early on in our KZbin journey and we are learning as we go. We hope we have improved since then. We hope you still found some tips helpful and if you watch any of our new videos hopefully they are better. Thank you for advice though!
