About Andrea Thies's RV rentals
Hi Welcome to Outdoorsy! My husband and I with our 3 kids live in Beautiful Helena MT. I am a nurse and work at the local hospital. We are adventure seekers and work hard to raise our kids in the great outdoors. We hope to share that experience with families or anyone else looking to recharge their spirits in nature. Please message me and let me know how we can make your adventures come true.

We loved our trip! Everything was so smooth from pick up and communication and the whole trip. We are so thankful!

We thoroughly enjoyed this camper and I highly recommend Andrea as a host. Great Vehicle + Great Host = Great Trip!We were a family of 5 (kids aged 22, 20 and 17) travelling to 3 National Parks over 10 days staying at over 8 different campgrounds. Once we got used to the various storage areas, we got into an easy routine to get our travel bags out when needed so people could access their bags for different parts of the day to gear up for the day or nights events. We added the Yakima storage box and that provided the extra space needed to make it all work. People at the various campsites could not believe that we had 5 adults in the van and kept commenting that they couldn't believe how many people were coming in and out of the van. On several occasions, several other camper van owners/renters asked for tours and commented how nicely the van was laid out as compared their vans. The popup tent on the top was easy to put up and take down and we quickly figured out how to convert the back bench to a bed and install the blow-up bed that goes in the driver/passenger seats.We also rented the Blackstone grill along with the portable table-top that was a mainstay of our cooking activities. Cooking inside the van on the stove was a breeze as well.The van was equipped with everything we needed (Sheets, Towels, blankets, dishes, cookware, utensils, storage, bear spray, chairs, hammock, plant guides, etc.). We made good use of the built in battery to charge the numerous devices and camping accessories for 5 people that normally operate on the grid, so we had good battery charge for everything (even if we couldn't connect to our cell provider from various campsites).Andrea was great host and answered all of our numerous questions ahead of time and sent several videos on how to operate all the Van's equipment. She met us at the airport and gave us a thorough walk through/training and sent us on our way. Drop off was breeze as she provided a lock-box so we good park the van, drop the keys in the lock-box, and catch our flight as planned. Easy! We had a few questions during the trip and she returned texts promptly and went out of her way to make sure we had a great trip.The van was easy to find parking spaces for and fit all the dimensions for the Glacier National Park Going to the Sun Road. Unfortunately, we missed driving it over Logan's pass by 1 day as the road wasn't yet open, but we were able to drive both the West and then East sides of the park up to the point that the road was closed and we were cleared by the rangers to make the trip (had the road been open).We got a great taste of "Van Life" and may consider purchasing our own camper van after the trip!Thanks Andrea!

The Host canceled the booking 6 days before departure. This is an automated posting.

Andrea and their family van was such a blessing to our fam bam! We traveled with 4 adults and a baby all over from Bozeman to Missoula up to Glacier down to Yellowstone and back. This van allowed us to get the max amount out of our trip! I HIGHLY recommend. My husband who is anti “van life” before the trip even admitted it’s the only way to go if you want to get the most out of the trip and “wasn’t so bad” translated from guys language = it was great! The hardest part of the entire trip was coordinating getting everyone’s sleeping arrangements set and luggage passed around but by a the 3rd night we had the thing down pat. Not only was the van perfect but so is Andreas an te room to detail and communication. I’m a stickler for good customer service and she went above and beyond. RENT from her NOW!

We had the best time! Andrea was so helpful, van was FANTASTIC- best one we have ever rented. We had two kids in car seats and it worked great. No issues with the van at all- everything was as pictured and as explained. Would LOVE to rent it again. Thank you Andrea!

Andrea was excellent and did a wonderful job preparing us with information on Ruby, our RV. We'd rent from her again without hesitation. Thanks Andrea!

I'd definitely book with Andrea again the next time we need a camper in Montana. We booked her camper for my 30th birthday and Andrea went above & beyond not only with celebratory birthday celebrations but also stocking it generously - the smore kit was my favorite! Her camper was in mint condition and they had a really great organization system which made adjusting to camper life really easy for first-timers like us. She was also highly responsive and even gave us tips on what to pack and how to prepare for our Yellowstone/Grand Teton trip. If you're considering it, definitely book with Andrea and you're in good hands.
