How far should an RV travel each day in British Columbia?
Two to four hours suits most travelers. Mountain highways climb steeply, and stops for viewpoints, hikes and wildlife add time.
Is a one-way rental worth it?
For the Rockies, often yes. It saves two days of driving back to Vancouver, though a one-way fee may apply. See Calgary and one-way rentals.
