Terry, I agree, some of your roads aren't much better. I went RVing with my parents through SK a few years ago. We took Hwy #3 ? if I remember right. It runs East - West just off of the US border. It was the worst road I'd ever seen, it looked like a wagon trail with pavement on top and didn't have any shoulders. Some of the most beautiful scenery though. Who would have guessed that SK has hills in it? On the other hand the stretch from Regina to Saskatoon is nice with a 110km/h speed limit!

uncantcme, $375 for a towing bill! What the crap?! Did you get it towed to another State? I did a 3000 mile road trip and didn't spend that! I'm glad I've got a brother with a truck and a tow strap!

It was only towed, MAYBE 50miles in all. From the scene, to their yard, to the dealership, and I guess the way back to their yard was MAYBE 50 miles.

I have no idea...Im hoping I get reimbursed for the money, but not counting on it .

I didn't think bad roads existed in AB. I went there with my folks in their RV. I remember thinking how nice the road we were on was, it was a bit older, but very well made, super smooth. A few more miles of that road and we came to construction. They were ripping up the whole road and resurfacing it! I couldn't believe it! The old road was better than most of the new ones in MB!

Every Spring the city starts filling thousands and thousands of potholes.I was thinking of getting wider tires or larger rims but I was warned against it because there is more chance of dammage to the rims and tires with smaller sidewalls. One girl apparently came to the tire shop and had to get new rims etc as they were getting all bent from the roads ie potholes

True, but "Lucky" would have been no damage at all.
