How to travel Canada on a budget (self.canada)

Hi Canadians, I am giving up on web search and rely again on actual people.

I want to go to Canada in Summer for about 5-6 weeks. I already asked a travel agency for a quote for renting a RV, but thats STUPID expensive. I used to go couchsurfing. the website is no more (i think), i am registered on BeWelcome now but haven't looked into it.

What's the best ways for someone with little money to still travel most of the country? renting a car there? buying one and selling it later? RVs? couchsurfing (and how)? hostels? camping?

I am grateful for all hints and tipps and connections :)

edit after some comments: I'm from Germany. My budget is not high. I think I can maybe push it to 4000$, but that'd be pretty high for me.

Used to be able to get an open rail ticket, looks like that's not a thing anymore? I did find this, but I'm not awake enough to figure out how good a deal it is. Rail is definitely one of the more memorable ways to cross Canada. Can get a trip from Toronto to Vancouver for $1300+ with stops in Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Jasper and Kamloops. That's only a 5 day trip, so you'd have to figure something out for the other weeks.

Railpass is something i didn't know about, so thank you so much for the suggestion. The price is stupid expensive, but maybe there's some catch or discount i can find.

Hope you're able to get something worked out, there's a lot of really beautiful bits of Canada. Have a great time, and be safe!
