Why go
Nova Scotia is a coastal tour of lighthouses, fishing villages, fundy tides and Cape Breton. For large Fifth Wheels, fixed bases are better than daily trips across small coastal roads.

Practical tips
Coast fog and wind are part of the planning.
Cabot Trail with a big team will only drive after an exact test.
Many free coastal areas are private or protected; not spontaneously overnight.
Our recommendation
Do not plan this region as a passage. Choose few bases, complete care and use free nights only where land status, access and security clearly fit.
