We traveled from the Seattle area to Banff and Jasper National parks and Calgary in June/July of 2017.  You will be fine taking the TransCanada Highway across the Rockies.  We traveled on 93 also as we were going between the US and Canada, but I can't remember anything uncomfortable from our time on Highway 1.

Enjoy the trip.  We had a great 2 weeks on are trip with four Canadian National Parks and the Calgary Stampede.

My two cents.  Contacted a very close friend (computer forensic tech) and asked about some of the download sites, he warned about Android Installer Packages (apks) and how they likely have embedded viruses.  He said not all of them but to not take a chance and only download from App Store.  I feel no matter what some of the sites say about InRoute working on  Android, I dont think it will.  I also have Garmin, but force it to do what RV Trip Wizard says to do.  OK, maybe that was three cents.

Several people have recommended the inRoute app, but when I searched Google Play, nothing came up, and when I google searched it and tried to download it, Crypto... something came up, which made me very suspicious. Is it possible for you to post a link to the app? (I use Android, so that shouldn't be the problem) Thanks!]]> Tue, 28 Dec 2021 23:44:49 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14843&PID=146522#146522 Driving Calgary to Vancouver with R-pod 192 : If you are looking for a route... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14843&PID=144443#144443 Author: D&S Escape Pod

If you are looking for a route planner and if you have a smart phone, you might want to try the app: inRoute. It is pretty easy to use and can show you elevation among other things in your route.  I drove Calgary to Vancouver a couple of times and I don’t think the route I used (Canada-1 & BC-5) ever went above 5,000 feet.  Very scenic drive, about 600 miles, stopped in Camloops overnight as a half way point….  We take our time and enjoy the scenery.  The entire route is multiple lanes so you won’t be holding anyone up.  They’ll be able to pass you. Enjoy.]]> Mon, 02 Aug 2021 01:35:31 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14843&PID=144443#144443 Driving Calgary to Vancouver with R-pod 192 : Thanks StephenH.

Thanks StephenH.  We are also concerned about holding back other travelers with our slower pace. Do you know which is the least mountainous route? thank you,

Part of that depends on time of year. Summer means you are less likely to encounter snow. Hair-pin turns and switchbacks? You can do them. They are not that hard. The trailer will track behind the Tacoma just fine. Don't let fear prevent you from what will be a really spectacular and memorable drive. You don't want to spend your latter days wishing you had made the trip.]]> Sun, 01 Aug 2021 20:57:05 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14843&PID=144439#144439 Driving Calgary to Vancouver with R-pod 192 : Mountains, hair-pin turns, snowy... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14843&PID=144438#144438 Author: AnnetteGary

You should have plenty of truck, if it's in good mechanical condition.  What concern do you have about just driving the Trans-Canada Hwy?

We are wondering about taking our new R-pod 192 on the road this fall. Has anyone driven across the Rockies - from Calgary to Vancouver?  We have a Toyota Tacoma tow vehicle. Is there a relatively easy route  - staying within Canada that anyone can recommend?  Thanks very much,
Annette and Gary
