We ordered a 19’ in May and can’t wait for our February completion. Semi-retired and done with tent camping! Just started surfing through this forum and it looks like a great place to compare notes and meet some good people.
This is our first across-the-border purchase and we’re curious how other state side buyers handled the monetary exchange without fees or other penalties. We know about the current exchange rate advantage but want to avoid giving some of that advantage away to the banks or money exchange services. We would appreciate any advice such as whether it’s best to get our USA bank to generate a check in Canadian dollars or take a check in USA dollars to a Canadian bank, or just pay Escape in USA dollars. We assume that one way or another would minimize exchange service fees.
Regardless, no matter how we proceed with the transaction it’s going to be fun learning more about our new travel trailer through this forum and watching out for other Escape rigs cruising down the highway.
