Drive a Thor Four Winds motorhome that sleeps five from Los Angeles to Phoenix for $1 a day
Roadsurfer needs a Thor Four Winds Class C motorhome (under 5 years old, 5 seats, sleeps 5, kitchen, shower and toilet, heating) moved from Los Angeles to Phoenix through Imoova: pick up any afternoon from Nov 27 to Dec 29, 2026 and you get 4 days at $1 a day with unlimited miles (up to 3 extra days at $100). With the $49 booking fee and our fuel estimate for about 375 miles ($216 at today's California and Arizona averages; no fuel refund is listed), the trip costs about $269 for up to five people (about $67 a day). At the listing's own $100 extra-day rate, the same 4 days would cost about $665.
- 4 days of motorhome use at $1/day with unlimited miles
- Beds for 5
- Kitchen, shower and toilet, heating
- Basic insurance ($3,000 deductible)

Why it's this cheap
Roadsurfer needs the motorhome in Phoenix and would otherwise pay a driver to move it, so it rents it for $1 a day to whoever drives it there.
Why it's a good deal
GOOD COMPARISONSame motorhome at the listing's extra-day rate ($100 × 4 = $400) plus the same $49 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 in Los Angeles Nov 27 – Dec 31 and delivered to Phoenix by Jan 2, 2027 (4 days from a pickup by Dec 29, up to 3 extra days at $100). Same method as our other Roadsurfer relocations (Los Angeles–Las Vegas, Los Angeles–Dallas).
