An RV is a recreational vehicle, not a specific type of one. What you are "thinking" is an RV is a motorised RV. Stating 'caravan' could be interpreted as a static caravan or a motorised caravan - do you see what I mean?

I think you are going to have fun learning :D

A 5th wheel is a type of caravan which has a raised part at the front which goes over a pick up truck and links into a large articulated hitch. Much more stable than our ball hitches (called bumper hitches in Canada).

We will also be flying into Vancouver hopefully with the cat and dog on the same flight but the horses will be flying into Calgary!

Will definately have to meet up for a drink and chat - will PM you our address & my husbands cell number.

I need to make a massive list of things to ask... be prepared ladies (and gents if there are any?) :D

Spent a chunk of today looking at Red Deer, and I'm still no wiser as to where we should live (other than in the south/south east), trying to live fairly close to schools too

you could register with a realtor and they would give you some good info regards the areas to live with the decent schools etc. That is what we did (excluding the schools as we don't need these) and our realtor and his wife became very good friends of ours. it was a chance we took and came up trumps with a really informative and nice man and his family.
