About G. Andrew Fricker

We're a young couple who live in Los Osos, CA (San Luis Obispo County). We both work in education and own a rescue bulldog named Orly. Our favorite spots to camp are in Yosemite, Morro Bay, Kirk Creek, San Simeon, Plaskett Creek and Limekiln campgrounds in Big Sur. We also enjoy taking the van up to wine country, or up to the mountains for a snow weekend to China Peak, Tahoe or Mammoth. The van works great for a weekend in the LA or the Bay Area where you can park near friends or family and avoid expensive and gross hotels. If you're coming from the Central Valley or either the SF Bay Area of LA, SLO is almost right in the middle, so you can pick up the van for an adventure and cruise to the destination of your choice. If you have instagram, my wife and I started an account which originally was to document the conversion of the van but these days, the dog seems to feature more heavily in the feed. It's a good place to check out some photos of the adventures we've been on, and the work we put into converting the van from an empty canvas to weekend warrior. (instagram handle: "@advanturesofadele"). We'd love to help host your next adventure in our beloved "Gray Goose" camper van.

This was the first time I used Outdoorsy.com and my friend and I were so lucky to have found Andrew and his Sprinter...

We don’t have enough great things to say about not only the van itself, but also the family who allowed us to rent it. It had all the amenities we needed and we had an absolute blast!

Andrew was great and the Sprinter worked well for our Eastern Sierra adventure. Andrew accommodated our schedule and gave us a nice tour and briefing of the van before we headed out for our trip. The bonus was to have our dog come along with us.

This was a great choice for our first sprinter van rental. Our 6 year old was able to use the back seat while driving and there was plenty of room to set up a twin blow up underneath the mattress. Highly recommended!

Andrew's Sprinter van was incredible. It have everything we needed for a trip up the coast. Andrew was very informative and was there to greet us with all instructions we needed to operate the van. The van drove incredibly well and was truly a pleasure the entire trip. Andrew also provided us with a stove and propane and additional camping gear we needed for the trip. I am looking forward to when I can rent it again in the future!

Everything about the sprinter is exactly as advertised. Andrew was great made everything super easy during drop off and pick up. It was our first trip camping with our dogs and the Sprinter was beyond expectations. Super comfortable bed enough space for 2 humans plus 2 dogs. The fridge and outlets worked perfectly. Really easy to drive and get used to, similar to driving a large pick up truck. Diesel engine made for great mileage as well. We borrowed the camp stove from Andrew which worked great. Overall, we cant wait to buy a sprinter of our own but mean while we are already planning our next road trip!

Took Andrew's van up to camp in Big Sur for the weekend with a few friends and had an amazing time. The van is easy to operate, super spacious to fit all your camping gear, and supplied with everything you need to get you started on a camping trip like this. We didn't have a lot of camping gear to begin with, so it was great to have a lot of things included with the rental.

Andrew made renting this Sprinter a really simple end-to-end experience. The van is great to drive with surprising power for a 4-cylinder diesel. He loaded us up with camping accessories including a coffee infuser, camp chairs, a 3-burner stove and a tank of propane, a Yeti cooler as well as the electric fridge. We spent our first night in nearby Morro Bay and next day, as we were packing up to make our way off to the Sierras, Andrew showed up with some items he forgot to throw in as well as coffee to make sure our trip had everything going to make it a successful experience. Be sure and ask about the LED party lights! WhooHoo!! ;-)

What a great first experience with Outdoorsy! We rented Andrew's Sprinter Van for a professional conference in Utah and it was such a comfortable drive and all the features worked just fine...(bluetooth, radio, refrigerator, usb plugs....). We didn't camp in it, but Andrew had all the comforts to make it a very luxurious camp experience had we chosen to use them.
Andrew communicated well and timely the whole time. He described everything perfectly and we were more than pleasantly surprised by the whole experience.
I am a small woman and I felt very tall and secure driving it. I would suggest short people to bring a block or something as you do sit high in the chair and a block will provide your feet comfort when on cruise control.
Andrew, we will be back for more!
