As part of the big move, I'd like to RV to the west coast, towing one of my enclosed trailers, then sell once we arrive. In that vsin, I'm looking for something inexpensive, like, hopefully below 5k, to make the journey. Needs to sleep 6. Any and all leads greatly appreciated.
Due to the risk of being stranded by a sub $5K rig.. Would this be a logical time to rent one?
(Not sure if one way rentals are a thing)

One way rentals do seem to be a thing, and from the brief searching are potentially cheaper than a pickup/drop off point

You'd probably get killed on the mileage charge.
Usually the problem with a $5000 motorhome involves water intrusion, not mechanical issues. Not that combo deals aren't available, of course.
In reply to OHSCrifle :
I haven't found 1 way and RV rentals are insanely expensive. $200 a day plus miles isn't unusual.

Roof is the key. Check all the appliances, do a full service and upgrade the AAA coverage. Anything can happen, even with new stuff.
I know they rent RVs to european tourists to see the USA ,
If you are renting you need to figure out the drop off fee if you are not going to retuen it to the same rental office ,
I would think coming to the West Coast would not get much of a drop off fee ,
One more question , how are you going to ship the enclosed trailer to Hawaii ?
