Why rent a Westfalia when Tia Exists!Tia is a 1992 Dodge Caravan that had been professionally converted by a Canadian company called Gtrv almost 30 years ago, and then just recently unprofessionally restored by yours truly (although I like to think I do a pretty decent job :)).Being an old van she has her quirks such as a few rust spots and minuscule imperfections, but she's trusty, well looked after and is unlike any van you've seen before!Tia is fuel efficient when compared to most camper vans, makes good power (can make it up hills unlike a westfalia) and plenty of character.What's includedWhen you rent Tia you can rest assured that you'll have everything you should need for your Canadian Rocky expedition, and if not, just ask! I always love to do what I can to make the journey as enjoyable as possible.Tia will always come clean and tidy, with plenty of amenities, which include:
- Fridge
- Two-Burner Stove
- 170Ah Battery
- Linens
- Pillows
- Blankets
- Towels
- 2 Beds
- Utensils
- 12v Inverter
- Brand New Tires
- Fresh Maintenance
-200 kms/day (for trip average)
- Etc.
RecommendationsThe Banff Jasper Loop is a favourite among myself and many renters, but if you have questions or are looking for lesser known spots I'm happy to share my local knowledge :)Other things to note- Dogs are welcome upon request
- I would recommend the top bed for children or lighter adults as I'm not 100% of the weight capacity (I know it's at least 220lbs)

Just a young guy who bought a van, built a van, and went to live in Tofino with it for a little while. Now I love finding and fixing these old gems, and sharing them with you :)

We had an amazing time road tripping up to Jasper in Tia. She ran well, was cosy, and made our experience feel like a proper retro roadtrip! She had everything we needed for a great week exploring the rockies.

Nous avons été les premiers à tester Tia, Et nous sommes tombés sous le charme, véhicule, agréable à conduire, bien équipé, facile à garer un peu partout à sa taille.
Et que dire de son propriétaire plus qu’arrangeant, encore merci, on recommande fortement Tia !!! 🙂🙂
