2010 CampLite automotive travel trailer
RoTi review and forum |
Small travel trailers are a very popular feature on Roaming Times, and one of the reviews that has been getting the most attention in recent weeks is the 2010 CampLite.
Roaming Times thinks that the CampLite travel trailer is a very special RV.
”There is not a splinter of wood in this travel trailer. It is 99% recyclable" said Livin’ Lite President Scott Tuttle. Livin' Lite also produce the Quicksilver all-aluminum folding camping trailer and and cargo-style VRV utility trailer |
This is the comments that Roaming Times had from readers Bill and Jan (February 2010):
“We have been waiting for years for this trailer! We stumbled on it at a boat and camping show in Wichita this weekend and the bought the CL12BH that Trailer & More (Wichita, KS) had there. We almost bought a pop-up 10 years ago and a hybrid 3 years ago and just couldn't bring ourselves to complete the transactions. We didn't want to buy a tow vehicle...wanted to use our Rendezvous. Didn't want to deal with mildew on the canvas and rotting floors. We will let everyone know how it camps in a few weeks. The only modification we plan on doing is putting in new memory foam mattresses in the bunks. We have also decided that we can move the whole dinette set outside and put a queen air mattress on the floor if we have our kids with us.”

This camper is ALL
ALUMINUM from the frame to the flooring to the walls
and roof - even the CABINETS!
Just some of the features of the CampLite: Tubular
Aluminum Frame - Lightweight; Durable; will not
rust away like typical steel frames, Dexter
Independent Torsion Suspension - Provides the
smoothest ride, best tracking and less terrains - compared
to outdated spring leaf suspensions, Inter-Locking
Aluma-Plank Floor Deck - Lightweight; Durable; will
not rot away, sag or have soft spots like typical plywood
floor decking. Frankly there is no comparison to
conventional trailers here.

| Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper | Maine Guy | Bought a QS 8.0 ft in 2008. Pull with a very full CRV 4 cyl with no problems. Happy with all aspects of the QS except for zippers in tent portion. We are easy on our equipment and ateast 3 zippers have broke over several camping seasons. Live the camper but QS should invest in high quality zippers. I would have been ok to pay several more hundred dollars to get good quality zippers. Too bad QS didnt spec better quality in this area.

| Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper | James Grooms | They look nice, Just can't find a dealer that actually stocks them within 200 miles, and they are 2000.00 above suggested retail price and that is overpriced |
| Re: CampLite travel trailer | Dixie | Has anyone pulled the CL13BHB Camplite with a Hyundai Santa Fe? I want to be able to pull it in the mountains out west. Looks like the perfect set up, but I'm not sure of the combination? In put would be helpful. Thanks. |
| Re: CampLite travel trailer | Solafa | Hi
I want to know your prices
And do you ship to Kuwait
Thanks |
| Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper | chuck | Actually in response to the writer from Vermont,Sometimes pop ups are what you end up with after the RV. We recently sold our 27 foot rv, "the Global Warmer" with its' never ending upkeep,repairs, leaks and the disolving wood floors and walls, and storage rent. That thing would break just sitting there.And it's not just old rvs, the shops are filled with newer rvs getting repaired as well. We bought a 6.1 offroad camper. we can tow it with a 4 cyl wrangler and a Suzuki SX4. Cold floors can be fixed by throw rugs on foam shop mats from auto shops....main thing is, aluminum does not rot! We love this thing for 3 season camping. |
| Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper | Kelly S | We've had our 8.0 for 3 years now in VT and traveled through New England. We're looking down the road to a small RV (aren't popups just gateway RVs?)
This has served us well; we got it because we have cars, I've towed this successfully with a Subie station wagon a Passat station wagon and eventually a Honda minivan. Mileage on the subie went from 29 to 26 (depending on my highway speed, you can forget it's there).
The minivan was easier for me to tow with because I could see over the top, it fills the rear window on the cars.
We've had one zipper at the top of the door unzip 1/2" and lost two snaps, the snaps were from people "helping" us take it down and just pulling on the vinyl. It's still completely usable and not a big deal. We've never had it leak, it does setup quickly, is easy to move by hand, doesn't let mosquitos in and we've had no problems with it.
I do put a feather bed down over the mattress, you can get chilled through the mattress if it's cold out. The floor can also feel cold with no socks/shoes. I also installed a 12V marine inline pump, so when you call for water it pumps for you with the 12volt battery (very sweet upgrade, I suggest you do this if you have one it was $40 on amazon).
Every bluegrass festival we go to I feel like some sort of magician; I can set it up myself easily and it always gets people gathered around to see what it is I have with me.
I do recommend this; it's a sweet little camper; we're just going to go a little more self contained. If I decide to advertise publicly I can post more info and contact. |

| Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper | d | stephen- consult a towing wt. calculator- it will need numbers like gvwr, hitch rating, etc. do not forget to calculate in frontage area- the amount of the trailer above the tow vehicle. my grand caravan is rated to pull 3600lbs so says the factory.... the calculations put a safer tow at 2000lbs. even at around the 2000lb mark... hills are not fun.

| Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper | Terry | We purchased a previously owned Quicksilver 10 last year in 2010. Though a few years old, it was immaculate because truly (except the canvas), the interior is nearly indestructable. Interior is definitely function over style. Wife thought the transition from past traditional pop ups would be difficult. Not at all; loves the no-nonsense, sporty, and sanitary look, feel, and use of the Quicksilver. It's a better fit for us; we camp to be active in nature, not constant housekeeping. Lysol wipes & job's complete.
Set up is so fast (like videos you might find), it is funny watching nearby people take it all in. We were concerned about the canvas as part of the door; seemed awkward since canvas portion doesn't set on a frame. Guess what? We found that we PREFER it now! No door slamming, fewer insects enter, can roll it up for breeze; it's great.
The first time out, we were caught in two thunderstorms 8 days apart, with our two children and boxer. Stayed dry! Wiped it down before breaking camp both time & moving on. Moisture not a problem. Quick wipe down of what drops were remaining, and aired out quickly. The canvas and poly top and cushions are made by a marine materials manufacturer.
We pull our Quicksilver with a 2005 Dodge Caravan --does NOT noticeably decrease our MPG and we haul everything, including the kitchen sink. Cannot tell you're pulling it.
We were leary about it being metal, and getting too hot. I don't know if it's because it's hallow aluminum or what someone else might explain scientifically? But it stays cool in the heat (perhaps due to evening temperatures?) We've camped in 100 degree weather and were comfortable. We aren't pansies, though do have small box fan and the airconditioner for kids/dog naptimes.
This is not a plug, we just feel obligation to share: though we purchased used, we initially had much contact with the folks at LivinLite and have recommended them several times.
When our children are out of the house, without question we'll upgrade to LivinLite's 16 foot travel camper. Excellent, smart products. Thanks for reading. Hope this helps you. Be blessed - 2/16/2011 |
| Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper | Camping Gal | My husband and I looked at one and are concerned about the snaps. Has anyone had a problem with the breaking or tearing the canvas...seems like this could lead to some major problems if they break.

| Re: CampLite truck camper | KC | The Mini Cooper in the pictures and flyers is towing the 11 model which does not have a bathroom and it only weighs 1200lbs. |

| Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper | Stephen D | I am looking to buy a Camplite 13BHB and was wondering if the tip out bunk is agood option? Also, someone earlier was commenting about aluminium getting cold & hot as it conducts easily versus wood...Also is this really capable of being towed by a honda odyssey with a trnny cooler & power steering cooler added |
| Re: CampLite truck camper | Gary Coombes | If this is only 950 lbs it's amazing. My Lance is at least 2000 lbs dry weight. This looks good too. |
