The QUICKSILVER truck camper, like all Livin’ Lite products, features all-aluminum and composite construction, without even a “splinter” of wood," according to Mike Kinzel, GM of Livin’ Lite RV.  “The QUICKSILVER line has always been about providing an affordable option to young couples who want to take their family camping using their current family vehicle, and this truck camper embodies that same philosophy. It’s light enough for two people to slide it into the truck bed, while being very affordable, and extremely easy to set up.”  :

It’s light enough for two people to slide it into the truck bed, while being very affordable, and extremely easy to set up.” 

The simple fold-out design of the QUICKSILVER truck camper offers room to sleep up to four people comfortably, while featuring a dinette for eating or playing games, as well as a spot to plug in a TV, heater, or other electronic device. One of the most unique features of this product is that it is the first truck camper on the market that allows the driver of the truck to actually see out their rear-view mirror when the camper is in the bed of the truck. 

The QUICKSILVER truck camper is available in multiple colors, as well as two different sizes - one for full size pick-up trucks, and a smaller version for compact trucks (Chevy S-10s and Ford Rangers). The sleek, lightweight design, combined with the camper’s affordability, make the QUICKSILVER truck camper a very appealing option for the mainstream truck market.

Brian & Jill BushbeckWe love our 10.0 easy to pull and to set up, very roomy and comfy.We are waiting for a screened awning for our model. lets go guys it's about time for camping and skeeters.
Bill and JanWe 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.
TerryThe quicksilver 2.0 looks like the one I want. No dealers stock any and without looking at one in real life I refuse to buy one. Hope some daywe get a few dealers who really has one and not sale only by order
JonI'm interested in buying a Quicksilver but no RV lots that sell Quicksilver 6.0 tent trailers. If someone in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, please contact me at 817-938-1002.
CPOSTEDWE SHOPPED FOR OVER A YEAR AND LOOKED AT THEM ALL. THAN A LOCAL DEALER DECIDED TO SELL QUICK SILVER CAMPERS. ONE LOOK AND WE WERE SOLD. WE HAVE A CL12BH ON ORDER. HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE DELIVERED IN APRIL. HELLO ADKS HERE WE COME!
brianI am having same problem, Too big Too heavy, Too expensive. Would love to see of a v-nose 6x12, with small ramp with lite weight plastic raising/lowering roof for travel.
looking for something smallThis trailer is pretty cool, but if they would just put a small barn door on the back so I can slip my dirt bike into it, then that would be really cool! So many manufacturers miss that part. They don't need a heavy ramp, just something directly in the back so people can slip long things in like folding boats, bikes, etc.
PoindexterGood Lord, where has this trailer been? I've looked at the Scamp and others, but I think this one might just be the one for us.
Stephen DI have been searching for an ultralit trailer and believe I finally have found one! The 2010 Camplite 12RD or 15BH is something I would be interested in for the right price! Pls contact me at dcostas7@telus.net or if Scott Tuttle sees this then please call me at 778-882-0770. It would be perfect to tow with my 2006 Honda Odyssey!!
HerschelThis is exactly what I am lookin for!
Julienefrom the picture it looks like all aluminum. I'm chemically sensitive and am looking for a small trailer that doesn't offgas formaldehyde or plastic odors. Does the composite adhesive do that?
Ron GI'd like to see one, looks good
SFguyWe have been toying with the idea of getting a very basic camp trailer that would double essentially as a toy hauler. In our case small sailboats 14ft and under in length. The new VRV idea is brilliant! Warm/Dry living space and a light weight hauler. Something we could tow with the Subaru Wagon etc. Only I can't find any prices.
GrahamReally like this. It's simple and looks as if it would last forever. Gonna check it out. Thanks
StefanSlick looking frame and build quality. Im stoked to see this one at a dealer so I can buy it. When is the exact release date?
LindseyI spent months looking for a camper that could be towed by my SUV with a 1500 max GVWR. The Quicksilver was the most robust option and suprisingly, also the most cost effective. We went to Elk River RV in MN to purchase the 10.0 model camper and the people there were great to work with. We can't wait to start camping in it. We set it up and took it down in well under 30 minutes, very easy to do. Hooray for good ideas, thank you Quicksilver!
BobRented the 8.0 Quicksilver for a weekend outing w/ friends. We have a permanent site w/ 32' Travel trailer now and previously have owned a pop up used for 11 years. This was a good trailer for the weekend. Only suggestion is to have the door zipper go across the top so it opens completely as a regular door. I am 6'3" 250 lbs and found it difficult to get in and out especially while carrying anything. Other than that pretty good experience. We were visited by almost everyone in the group to look at it. Set up and tear down very simple and quick.
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!
Herb Billingham I've had 2 trailers and they both had problems with plywood. Would much prefer all aluminum even if it is heavier. But aluminum is light in any case.
RossboI'm thinking Heather has an interest in Timeout trailers. I had one and the plywood rotted. My brother had a Fleetwood trailer with a rotting plywood floor. Fleetwood just claimed the warranty was finished. No plywood is the way to go.
HeatherSo you based it off a Timeout camper. They have no problems with those with the plywood. And yours is 100 lbs heavier? See no reason why this is better.
Len ParkinsonJust goes to show if you're making things that people really want you're unstoppable.
ByronI've camped all my life and am now thinking about getting up off the ground. This camper looks good. Need to check my tow ratings I guess. I'm going to tow with a mini. The price looks good.
DavidJust goes to prove that success is really tied to the quality of the product. Congratulations Livin Lite.
Tony CamperI've always been a tent camper. This gets me off the ground and looks just what I want at a good price? Not sure what else is available but this is the route I'm going. Thanks.
