Magnetic Hill is a fun little stop. The natural phenomenon appears to pull your vehicle up hill from a complete stand still. That's what they say, anyway. Our Roadtrek is a beast! When we meet a magnet that can best it we'll let you know. In the meantime, we'll let this video stand as testament that the 'magnet' in this New Brunswick hill could not defeat us. ...
