Planning on taking the "stabbin cabin" to Kelowna next week and some guys at work were warning me of having Alberta plates in BC. Things like it must still have the cats, no cracks in the window ect ect.
Alberta plates in BC, am I going to get hassled?

No if you get pulled over just make sure your driver's licence has the same address as your regy and that better be in Alberta... if you move between provinces I believe Alberta gave me 90 days im thinking BC would be the same... if you do get a ticket ask the Officer if they're anyone checks their new recruits????

Just don't drive like half the idiots here in Alberta do and you'll be fine. Don't give the cops a reason to pull you over. Think most of the bad experiences guys are whining about stems from how they were driving and the attitude they had towards the cop.

I think your working buddies are pushing your buttons........
If all your mechanical/electrical is working and like crazy_wheeler said, "don't give them a reason to pull you over" you will not experience any ill effects.
That's not implying anything at all about when the "stabbin' cabin" is parked and the tops are twisted........for that you are on your own dude!!!!

if the vehicle in the picture is the vehicle you will be driving, yeah, you stand a good chance of getting checked out.

Haha, no the truck in my profile pic isn't what I am reffering to, that thing is good to go just as long as I avoid sylvan lake... It's an 89 ford motor home, doesn't have the power to speed so I should be good. Just as long as the speed limit is at least 100km/h, she's got a bit of a shimmy around 80km/h lol.

Don't wear the white framed oaklys and lose the sideways flat brimmed monster (or Douche Club) hat and you should be fine.
Sounds like yah get to be the "OH DEAR LORD! ANOTHER CORNER! THIS TIME ON A HILL OH HELP ME GOD I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DOOOOOOO!" type that the rest of us love. Cops won't even bother yah at all while everyone else on the road is raging!

I've been travelling in BC for over twenty years now and have yet to be pulled over by the Cops. Like Crazy Wheeler said. Don't drive like an idiot an, you shouldn't have any issues.

I pulled through kelowna yesterday pulling a 34 ft trailer and this is not the place you want to be! 2.5 hrs to go from ok falls (westbank) to kelowna airport...f. K...n nuts!
also came from the interior and traveled to Vancouver and back to Vernon and only seen two cops, one had a lady in her 70s pulled over in a new convertible vette... Bet cha he was suprised when she stepped out. Besides there's so many people to pick on this weekend you'll more then likely slip through the cracks.

That's not bad.
If the old bridge was still there you would have been looking at 4 hrs!
Whoops... struck a nerve on a nervous Alberta driver I guess!
It's a running joke in BC during tourist season... there's a large share of american plates that are no better, but it just happens that there are a lot more alberta plates.
Fawk... take a joke.

I do realize that statistically Alberta has the worst drivers, and I do believe that the statistics are correct. I see it every day when I drive to and from work. It's just that I don't like being painted with the same paint brush. I for one do not fall into your running joke category.

When I lived in the Okanagan, I used to hate it when all the red and white or green and white license plates would roll through. Slow and gawking at everything lol. Now I'm that guy whenever I go home lol.
Usually it's the minivans pulling a trailer that piss me off. Doing 125 on the straight stretches and passing lanes and 80 in the corners!

So I'll throw this next question out, there seems to be a lot of controversy between friends as to which way to get there from red deer. A buddy that is coming will be in edmonton, some guys say to leave from edmonton and go the jasper route, apparently flatter but would be roughly 5hrs longer from red deer. The other option is the trans canada from red deer, the only way I have ever taken. I don't recall it being overly hilly other than golden...
Keep in mind we're in an 89 ford motorhome lol. It's solid, but it's a classic...

Not only 5 hours longer but way farther too.
More b.c gas at 20 plus cents a litre more.
Go south to olds , cut west to highway 22. Go south to Cochrane and then highway 1.
Or through highway 11 to Saskatchewan crossing and then to lake Louise
It's a good drive.
