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.

Banff national park is where you'll find Lake Louise and Moraine lake (of reddit fame) with some fantastic hikes like the Plain of six glaciers.

It's definitely worth a visit. Though if you choose to go there, be aware that it's a heavily touristy area (for very good reason) and very difficult to avoid crowds, especially in the summer.

thanks for the heads-up :)
