Traveling to Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu by RV

Autoroute 35 runs south from Montreal through Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu toward the US border at Philipsburg. From downtown Montreal, it's about 40 minutes south on Autoroute 10 or 35. The city has full commercial services -- fuel, groceries, Canadian Tire, Walmart, and multiple restaurants along Boulevard du Seminaire. The roads are urban-grade and handle any rig size without difficulty. RV-friendly fuel stations with pull-through lanes are more common on the main highways, so plan your fill-ups before turning onto secondary roads. If you're arriving from a distance, plan your fuel stops in advance since gas stations can be spaced far apart on Quebec's rural highways.
