The versatile VRV Quicksilver - see RoTi review

Wakarusa, IN – When Arkansas native Tom Brawley began tinkering in his garage in an effort to make his cargo trailer more versatile, he had no idea that just over a year later he would see his patent-pending design become a hit at the popular Daytona Bike Week.

“My goal was to design something that I could use both during the week and on the weekend,” shares Brawley, “It needed to be able to carry a good amount of cargo; transport large items such as washing machines or refrigerators; yet also be able to put my motor bikes and ATVs in; enjoy a weekend of camping with my family; even take my kid to college – all in a trailer that was light weight enough to be able to tow with my SUV.”

After emerging from his garage with his first prototype, Brawley found that friend and local RV Dealer Chris Block of National Travelers RV (Conway, Arkansas) wanted to sell them at his dealership. “In just the first month, we saw an unbelievable amount of consumer response to this unique product,” says Block, “So much so that I advised Tom (Brawley) that he needed to seriously consider bringing his concept to market by getting his idea patented and partnering with an established recreational vehicle manufacturer.’

That’s when Brawley started his patent process, based on a cargo trailer with soft-sided, tip-out bunks. Soon after, Block introduced Brawley to Scott Tuttle and Livin’ Lite Recreational Vehicles, manufacturers of the all-aluminum QUICKSILVER tent campers carried by National Travelers. “What Scott and his team at Livin’ Lite have done with our product is nothing short of amazing.” states Brawley. “They have taken a platform that was based on a steel and plywood cargo trailer and transformed it into a super lightweight, all-aluminum, aerodynamic trailer with a look and feel that is as unique as the VRV concept itself.”

The all-new VRV QUICKSILVER trailer features tip out bunks; all-aluminum construction (frame, sidewalls, roof trusses, even floor decking); 6’-5” interior height for today’s popular ATVs with roll-cages; multiple exterior colors highlighted with diamond plate accents and custom aluminum fenders. The all-new VRV includes a 5x12 model for a single motorcycle or ATV and tip-out bunk that features a dry weight of only 1,100 lbs., and a 7x16 model with double tip-out bunks and a living quarters area featuring aluminum cabinetry, closets and private commode room where an optional Dometic cassette toilet can be utilized – weighing an amazingly light 2,100 lbs.

MSRPs on the VRV are $5,999 for the 5x8 version and $11,999 for the 7x16 model.

Next on the drawing board for VRV QUICKSILVER is a 8.5x22 model with dual tip-out bunks, living quarters and fold-up sofa and dinette for maximum cargo capacity.

Brawley shares that following the successful debut of his unique VRV cargo/camping trailer at the recent Daytona Bike Week, he will be showing it at the ATV “Mud Nationals” event in near Dallas Texas in March, followed by the Moab Utah UTV Show in April.

 “What we are finding is that people are really attracted to the VRV’s overall value for the investment, says Brawley “In today’s economy, versatility is key and our VRV is about as versatile as they come – all in an ultra lightweight design that can be towed by a large number of vehicles.”

Wanna RVThe camper/cargo trailer is one unique RV! We're looking for an RV for our family and this is what we're looking for. Lightweight, so we don't need to upgrade our Ford Escape tow vehicle. Aluminum so it won't rust or rot (I hate that!). No formaldehyde off gassing from cheap chipboard construction. I love it!
