Drive a camper van with a kitchen, shower and toilet from San Francisco to New York for $1 a night
Imoova needs an Indie Campers 'Active Pop Top Select' camper van (Winnebago Solis Pocket 59PX, under 3 years old: rear queen bed plus pop-up roof bed, sleeps 4, two-burner stove, sink, fridge, shower and toilet, heating and air-conditioning) moved from San Francisco to New York: pick up on Nov 7, 2026 and you get 9 nights (Nov 8 or 9 pickups give fewer) at $1 a night with 3,176 miles included. With the $99 booking fee and our fuel estimate for about 2,900 miles ($700 at today's $4.10 national average), the trip costs about $808 for up to four people sleeping in the van. At the van's own $249 extra-night rate, the same 9 nights would cost about $3,040.
- 9 nights of van use at $1/night with 3,176 miles
- Bed for 2 plus pop-up roof bed for 2
- Kitchenette, shower and toilet, heating and air-conditioning
- Basic protection (with bond and liability limit)
- Pet-friendly

How to book it
- Open the Imoova listing RLC126682 and choose Book now.
- Pick up in San Francisco on Nov 7, 2026 for all 9 nights (the van is due in New York by Nov 16, so later pickups give fewer nights and no extra nights fit).
- Have a credit card for the 2,000 EUR bond at pickup; decide there whether to buy the premium protection.
Why it's this cheap
Indie Campers needs the van on the East Coast and would otherwise pay to move it, so it rents it for $1 a night to whoever drives it there.
Why it's a steal
GOOD COMPARISONSame van at the listing's extra-night rate ($249 × 9 = $2,241) plus the same $99 fee and the same fuel estimate; excludes any one-way fee, so a normal one-way rental would likely cost more. A normal rental lets you choose dates and return city; this one must be picked up Nov 6 – Nov 9, 2026 and delivered to New York within 9 nights (extra nights $249 each, up to 2). Same method as our other Imoova relocations (Los Angeles–Miami, Las Vegas–New York).
