Canada, USA and Mexico

[talkingmonkeys]

Hello all,
we are getting closer to our leave date of April 2019 and before we get started, we would like some information, yes we have tried the search tool but there is too much information if that is such a thing?

Our plan is to arrive in Canada by air in mid April and ride across Canada to Anchorage before heading south in to USA, We have no time constraints other than visa allowances and we will be self sufficient.

Can anyone tell us what motor insurance is needed in Canada and the USA and can we get one policy to cover both countries?

Can we be pointed in the best direction for information on weather conditions, ( what we could expect at what times)? also fuel stops and campsites, distances and repair/service locations?

What would residents recommend we take with us as we intend to camp where possible, weather permitting. ( we have camped all over Europe but never in really cold climates )

We understand that we need medical insurance but where is the best place for getting it as this will be (hopefully) the start of a much longer trip.

We would also like info on places to visit, places to avoid and are open to any suggestions as this will be a once in a life time trip. (hopefully!!!!!!!)
