    UPFORD Custom Tune

    I finally bit the bullet and bought a custom tune from UPFORD for my 2006 Sunseeker 2860DS 305 hp V10 2 valve.

    Mont Orford - Lac Stukely

    I'm planning a trip in New England, including Vermont. Mont Orford in Quebec is a practical distance away. As a Floridian that never crossed into Canada with a travel trailer, are there any requirements for travel (other than passports) or camping I need to consider?
