Imoova needs an Indie Campers 'Active Pop Top' camper van (Winnebago Solis 59P: rear queen bed plus pop-up roof bed, sleeps 4, two-burner stove, sink, fridge with freezer, shower and toilet, heating and a solar panel) moved from San Diego to Tucson: pick up any day Nov 12 to Nov 17, 2026 (10am–3pm) and you get 5 nights at $1 a night with unlimited miles before the Nov 22 drop-off. With the $99 booking fee and our fuel estimate for about 410 miles ($97 at today's $4.02 national average and ~17 mpg), the trip costs about $201 for up to four people. At the van's own $199 extra-night rate, the same 5 nights would cost about $1,191.

Why it's this cheap

Indie Campers needs the van in Tucson 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

This relocationWhole van for up to 4 travelers$201
Normal pricesame vehicle, supplier's own nightly rate$1,191

GOOD COMPARISONSame van at the listing's extra-night rate ($199 × 5 = $995) 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 in San Diego Nov 12–22, 2026 (by Nov 17 for all 5 nights) and delivered to Tucson by Nov 22, with up to 3 extra nights at $199. Same method as our other Imoova relocations (Salt Lake City–Tucson, Bozeman–New York).
