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 8 to Nov 23, 2026 and you get 4 days at $1 a day with unlimited miles and up to $100 of fuel refunded against receipts — time for a detour via Joshua Tree. With the $49 booking fee and our fuel estimate for the direct 372 miles ($170 at today's $4.12 national average, before the refund), the trip costs about $123 for up to five people (about $31 a day). At the listing's own $100 extra-day rate, the same 4 days would cost about $619.
- 4 days of motorhome use at $1/day with unlimited miles
- Beds for 5
- Kitchen, shower and toilet, heating
- Basic insurance ($3,000 deductible)
- Up to $100 fuel refund

How to book it
- Open the Imoova listing RLC127089 and choose Book now ($100 holding deposit).
- Pick a pickup day in Los Angeles between Nov 8 and Nov 23 for all 4 days, and add bedding/kitchen kits only if you won't bring your own.
- Keep fuel receipts for the $100 refund and return the motorhome in Phoenix by Nov 27.
Why it's this cheap
Roadsurfer needs the motorhome in Phoenix for the winter season 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, without the relocation fuel refund; 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 6 – Nov 25) and delivered to Phoenix by Nov 27 (4 days from a pickup by Nov 23, up to 2 extra days at $100). Same method as our other Imoova relocations.
