The gas tank is actually 240L... the total is about $1050 CDN plus a refundable $500 deposit and gas.
It sleeps up to 7, but we will have a total of 4 people chipping in. According to the CSR we should expect to spend approximately $300 on gas round trip from Vancouver.

 Ya, it's definitely gonna take a while to fill up, and we will definitely be filling up south of the border. |

I'm tempted to check out RV renting prices but 1) HOW WOULD I EVEN DRIVE THAT I DRIVE A HYUNDAI ACCENT 2) last year an RV camped beside our tent neighbors and it was so noisy we decided to hate those people forever.
GET NAKED IN THE NATURE, BRO. It's 4 days.

One thing to beware: Give yourself extra time at the border crossing. I have numerous friends who have crossed the border with RVs, Trailers, etc. and you will almost always get searched if you're pulling a trailer. There's nothing to be concerned about, but it may take an extra hour to cross the border.
Also, with an RV rental it can be easy to forget, but they will bust you if you're brining in more than your allowance of booze or if you're bringing fruit, veggies, etc across the border. Best bet is to park that bad boy at a target / walmart once you're across the border to stock up.
Same applies for driving home, you will likely be stopped and searched at the border. Again, nothing to worry about, but it may take some extra time.

Ha, ya I'm more than aware that a search is more likely in a vehicle that is rented, and the fruit/veggies thing is a no brainer. We do all our shopping southside.

Rvs are great to have there. They will allow you rest and get away from the parties when you want. Plus if you conserve you can have showers at your own place.
