Hi all! Follow along with Big Frida's adVANtures - @BigFridatheVan on IG & FB. My love of the road started when I was kid traveling with my family along the PCH in the back of an old VW bus. Fast forward to 2009, when I sold all my belongings, bought a 15' 1967 Prowler travel trailer that I named Wanda, and hit the road to eventually land in Austin, TX. After a decade of sitting still, the #Vanlife bug bit me on the bum and Big Frida the Van was born. Big Frida is my way of being able to explore this wonderful country of ours. Hopefully she can help you do the same, and look great doing it!
Please keep in mind that Frida is tall gal especially with her top hat (A/C) so be mindful when driving by or under trees, and she CANNOT fit in parking garages or drive-thrus - yes, she's really that tall. She's also heavier and longer than your average vehicle so she takes her time when slowing down (start braking earlier), and swing this gal slow & wide around turns. Frida's eco-friendly interior is intended for your health and mine so please NO smoking.
Up to $300. Fee will be applied if not returned in the same condition it was picked up in.
$10 per hour late OR 8 hours is 1 full night
$25 cost for entire trip.please use for #1 only and it must be emptied prior to return - if not you will be charged for the cost of the toilet and can take it home with you.

All around awesome. Tawnia (who is wonderfully thorough) and Frida are now friends of mine 🤩🤩

Preston was a great renter! His response time was on point, he asked questions and seemed to genuinely care about making sure he understood how everything worked. He delivered her back on time, and looking good. I'd rent to him again no problemo!

We had a great time taking Big Frida out on the road! Our camping neighbors even commented that they were jealous of our van when we parked and we had to admit it was a rental. We pulled up and plugged in and looked at each other like “Is that it!?”… we hung some USB-powered twinkle lights from the van and unfolded our camping chairs and couldn’t believe we were done (as historical tent campers we felt super spoiled). The bed was super comfy. Blankets and sheets are provided (tip: bring your own pillows and extra blankets). We were able to cook way more efficiently with the fridge, hot plate, pans, & utensils provided (tip: bring a kettle and your French press for the fanciest camping morning). There is tons of storage for your items even after all the provided supplies are put away. The heat/cooling system was great for this Texas camping trip that ranged from 35 degrees to 80. If you’re new to Van life no worries - she handles well, has a back-up cam, and fits in regular parking spots - great for beginners.

Big Frida is a great built. Super clean.She did not disappoint. We took her the wine trail, down by the river, to the antique show, and hung out with the cows on a farm.
Tawnia was a wonderful host,great communicator and was super thorough with everything. She thought about everything you would need.
I highly recommend. We shall rent her again!

where to begin: this was an incredible experience! our first rv rental. tawnia was very easy to communicate with - timely and thorough, flexible, and so patient with instructions. and big frida surpassed expectations - modern, safe, very clean, easy and smooth to drive, great gas mileage, very cold AC, and outfitted with so many extras (linens, kitchen items, cards, all required and just-in-case mechanical items, posted reminders) to make our stay comfortable and easy. our teens slept in her one night in our driveway, plugged into our house, and two nights at lake somerville outside austin, plugged into the campsite. tawnia is a true and experienced rv lover, and offers amazing customer service and insights. will most definitely rent again. THANK YOU!

Tawnia was amazing! Excellent communication. As a first time outdoorsy user she gave me instructions at every step. She was very knowledgeable and made every effort to ensure we had a great trip. I highly recommend renting with Tawnia!
