  • Living in a huge country

    Hallo,

    I had the opportunity to visit France for 6 weeks. France and Germany have almost the same surface. During those 6 weeks, I traveled in most parts of France. It is almost impossible to do so in so few days in Canada, our country being so large. This is why most campers travel around their respective part of the country.

    As I live in the eastern part of Canada, this is where I mostly camp. Staying mainly in that part of the country, landscape changes a lot. The southern part of Quebec and Ontario, as you can see it on the first picture, is mostly rivers and mountains landscapes. Northern part of Quebec and Ontario is unsuitable for camping and mostly uninhabited. Only few roads lead up there. South-east of Quebec are the Maritime provinces. Surroundes by Atlantic ocean, as you can see on pictures 2 and 3, you can find many wonderful beaches with cool water and magnificient rugged seashores. Even then, one of the Maritime provinces is located at an 11 hours ferry ride from mainland. I have never been in this part of Canada; I would have to drive for 34 hours from my home. I have never been in the most western part of my country. It would be a 50 hours car ride from my home. These are projets for my retirement.

  • Hallo aus Kanada

    Hallo Bauman,


    Thank you for your warm welcome. I hope you will not mind if I keep on using english on the forum. I would not want to offend german members by using french. German T@b forum administrator is kind enough to let me use a foreign language. However, in private messages, it will be a pleasure to use french with you. Seeing your name, you must live in the german part of Switzerland and it is known that swiss people can speak 3 or 4 languages; once again I appreciate your offer.

    Hallo Bolko,

    Vielen Dank für Ihre Informationen. Your english is very good and I appreciate your efforts to use this language. In Canada, it is winter also but a very mild winter this year without snow. We can feel global warming. We only have a few centimeters of snow on the ground; it is very unusual. Our T@b are stored or winterized. Canadian winter with its freezing and thawing periods is rough on the T@b: many of our trailer suffered from major slit in what you call colorkit (I believe); you can see pictures of my trailer before I had it repaired; fortunately, the repair was under waranty. Since, my trailer sleeps all winter long in a heated warehouse. We await spring (month of may) to begin camping again. Camping season last from may to october in most parts of Canada, exept on the extreme western part of the country where the weather is milder. Thank you for your good wishes.

    Hallo,

    Here are some pictures of a nice campground in Quebec, Kanada called Paradis Marin. Sitting on the rocks, facing the Saint-Laurent river, you can see, ear and almost touch whales. It is a unique place in the world because, right in front of the campground, the water is exceptionally deep.

    You can see one of our two T@b setups with the Thermarest awning. My wife wears a mask because we never show our face on the web, due to our job. You can see Lily, our Shitzu.

  • Hallo aus Kanada

    Hallo to Capri-Achim and KaBa,

    Thank you guys for your nice welcome words.

    Here in Kanada, German stuff is known for its toughness, reliability, durability... and high cost too!

    A lot of Germans live in Toronto. A lot of Canadians love your German T@b; on our french canadian T@b forum, we are 83 members/owners. I sure hope I will have the opportunity to visit your country one day... and see a football game!

  • Hallo aus Kanada

    Hallo,

    I own a T@b 320 silver and yellow and I live in Kanada. First, I want to apologize for not speaking german. If you do not mind, I will use english wich is not my mother tongue either. I speak french. About one fifth of Canadians speak french. I also enlisted on the british, the dutch, the american and the french canadian forums. I hope we will share some good informations. I think I am a lot attracted by Deutschland: I own a German engineered camping trailer, a German engineered car (BMW), my favorite football team is the Mannschaft and the music group I love most is Rammstein (I saw them twice in Quebec and Montreal) .

    Auf wiedersehen
