Drive a Class B camper van with a kitchen, shower and toilet from Los Angeles to San Francisco for $1 a day
Roadsurfer needs a 'Liberty Lodge' Class B camper van (a Winnebago Solis 59PX or Thor Tellaro 20A on a ProMaster chassis, under 5 years old: 4 seats, sleeps 4 with the pop-up roof, kitchen, shower and toilet, heating) moved from Los Angeles to San Francisco through Imoova: pick up any afternoon from Dec 1 to Dec 19, 2026 and you get 4 days at $1 a day with unlimited miles, plus 1 extra day at $100 if you want it. With the $49 booking fee and our fuel estimate for about 385 miles ($130 at today's California average of $5.74 and ~17 mpg), the trip costs about $183 for up to four people (about $46 a day). At the listing's own $100 extra-day rate, the same 4 days would cost about $579.
- 4 days of van use at $1/day with unlimited miles
- Sleeps 4 (pop-up roof)
- Kitchen, indoor shower and toilet, heating
- Basic insurance ($3,000 deductible)

How to book it
- Open the Imoova listing RLC129997 and choose Book now ($100 holding deposit).
- Pick a pickup day in Los Angeles between Dec 1 and Dec 19 (2–4 pm), add the $100 extra day if you want it, and add bedding/kitchen kits only if you won't bring your own.
- Have a card for the $1,600 bond at pickup and return the van in San Francisco (10 am–noon) within your 4 days.
Why it's this cheap
Roadsurfer needs the van in San Francisco 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 steal
GOOD COMPARISONSame van 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. Roadsurfer's own Liberty Lodge page says 'from $115 / night'. A normal rental lets you choose dates and return city; this one must be picked up in Los Angeles Dec 1–19 and delivered to San Francisco within 4 days (5 with the paid extra day). Same method as our other Imoova relocations.
