I drove over 5500km in New Zealand 25 years ago on both Islands over 7 weeks. Driving across Canada would be less challenging.
But you may find that the cost of a one way rental plus mileage is very expensive. I met an Irish family who were tent camping around Canada, they had friends who rented an RV and were hit with a $10,000.00 extra mileage bill at the end of the trip.
I have friends in the military who have driven back and forth across Canada several times. Halifax to Victoria.
It seems that the minimum amount of time to drive across comfortably is 7 days. But that is not sight seeing, just driving from point A to point B.
If I was doing the trip I would look at no less than 2 months.
I also would buy a used Class C or B is there were only one or two people at one end and sell it at the other.
When in NZ we bought a car at the beginning of the trip and other than fuel and one new tire our cost was insurance and we sold it for $500.00 less than what we paid.
