| Bill and Jan | 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. | Re: CampLite travel trailer |
| Terry | The 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 | Re: Quicksilver motorcycle/ATV camper |
| Jon | I'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. | Re: Quicksilver 6.0 tent camper |
| CPOSTED | WE 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! | Re: CampLite travel trailer |
| brian | I 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. | Re: CAMP LITE small travel trailer |
| looking for something small | This 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. | Re: CAMP LITE small travel trailer |
| Poindexter | Good 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. | Re: CAMP LITE small travel trailer |
| Stephen D | I 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!! | Re: CampLite travel trailer |
| Herschel | This is exactly what I am lookin for! | Re: Quicksilver 10.0 tent camper |
| Juliene | from 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? | Re: CampLite travel trailer |
| Ron G | I'd like to see one, looks good | Re: CampLite travel trailer |
| SFguy | We 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. | Re: Quicksilver VRV cargo trailer and camper |
| Graham | Really like this. It's simple and looks as if it would last forever. Gonna check it out. Thanks | Re: Quicksilver 10.0 tent camper |
| Stefan | Slick 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? | Re: CAMP LITE small travel trailer |
| Lindsey | I 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! | Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper |
| Bob | Rented 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. | Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper |
| Wanna RV | The 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! | Re: Quicksilver VRV camper/cargo trailer |
| 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. | Re: Quicksilver 6.0 tent camper |
| Rossbo | I'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. | Re: Quicksilver motorcycle/ATV camper |
| Heather | So 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. | Re: Quicksilver motorcycle/ATV camper |
| Len Parkinson | Just goes to show if you're making things that people really want you're unstoppable. | Re: Livin Lite factory fire |
| Byron | I'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.
| Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper |
| David | Just goes to prove that success is really tied to the quality of the product. Congratulations Livin Lite. | Re: Livin Lite factory fire |
| Tony Camper | I'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. | Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper |
| ScottT | For the Record: yes, our factory burned down Oct. 1, 2008 - but we we saved the welders and the jigs miraculously survived (the only thing to survive!), so we were able to order new aluminum the next morning and were up and running. Our beautiful new factory is just about completed and we will be moving in there in early June. We are having a lot of fun right now at Livin Lite as consumers are really liking our products and the quality and value that the all-aluminum and composite construction offers them. RV Dealers who didn't really understand why we build our campers five years ago are grasping the concept now as gas prices have risen, trucks and SUVs are being traded in for smaller, more fuel-efficient cars, and families are still wanting to go camping. Livin Lite is positioned well for todays and tomorrow's camping marketplace. | Re: CAMP LITE small travel trailer |
| Colin | Skip J - the factory burnt down and they were up and running again very quickly. Good company, good product. | Re: Quicksilver motorcycle/ATV camper |
| Steve | Renard, the Quicksilver 6.0 weighs 580 pounds. You can put that much weight in the back seat and trunk of your Mazda 5. I've been pulling a 500 pound camper with my Honda Civic, and it does fine. | Re: CAMP LITE small travel trailer |
| SkipJ | I read that the Livin lite factory burned down. Am I wrong? | Re: Quicksilver motorcycle/ATV camper |
| Renard | Does the quicksilver 6.0 can be towed by a Mazda 5? In the owner's book Mazda say that we can't tow anything with that car... | Re: Quicksilver motorcycle/ATV camper |
| Peanut | This would be ok if you are a tent camper and just want to sleep off the ground. I would prefer a few more amenities. | Re: Quicksilver motorcycle/ATV camper |
| Wilkinson | The Quicksilver Motorcycle/ATV Camper is exactly what I want and looks well made and at the right price. I'd like to hear comments about people's experiences camping with it. | Re: Quicksilver Motorcycle/ATV Camper |
| Biker in Mo | It says in the review that the motorcycle camper is based on existing designs but I've been biking for years and I've never seen one. But now that I have I think it's great and we'd use it at the right time of the year. Great product. Thanks. Kenny | Re: Quicksilver motorcycle/ATV camper |
| P.G.Decker | My family spent it's younger years camping as often as weather would provide (nearly every weekend). We owned a conventional Pop-Up that slept 8, was very weighty, and heavy to setup and take down. Though very nicely built, we experienced having to replace serveral damaged and worn braces and panels over a 6+ year period. I have experienced the Quicksilver first-hand and can tell you, it is built extremely well, easy to setup & take down, is so light-weight anyone can move it around by hand, and can be pulled with virtually ANY vehicle. I give you a "HIGH-5" for building an extremely nice and affordable alternative.
P.G. Decker | Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper |
| silverfox | The Quicksilver is a great Truck camper. I have had several truck campers and they involve a lot of work and muscle. Now that I am retired I am looking for a lightweight truck camper for my Dakota, the quicksilver will be my choice. | Re: Qicksilver truck camper |
| Nick | Quicksilver truck camper - Wow what a great idea to have a camper truck plus you can pull another pop up trailer so we will have more room to sleep wow i love that idea. i will check it out | Re: Quicksilver truck camper |
| Kate Rehkop | We LOVE our Quicksilver! We originally went to look at the 8.0 but the 10.0 was set up at the dealership. We were amazed at how roomy it is (I said we didn't need one that big! but who can argue with two queen-size beds. . .). We can set it up and take it down in no time flat. There is SO much storage in it, too. We like the fact that we don't have all the cooking and bathroom things to deal with inside the camper, but because we still like our creature comforts, we had the air conditioner installed (the heater is standard), bought a Coleman refrigerator (hint: set up outside in warmer weather as it produces warm air), a small microwave and other kitchen gadgets/necessities, and a privacy/shower tent for camping in an area without a showerhouse. We don't have to worry about winterizing a thing except to put in some cedar and closet dehumidifiers, and in the spring it is fresh and ready to go. When we camp, we get more attention than you would believe - we could charge for tours - and everyone wants to know how we can get set up so quickly. And the views are wonderful - 360 degrees of fresh air and beautiful views. With the light weight, we can tow it with either our Jeep Wrangler or Honda Element. This is our first tent camper, and I think we will have it for a very long time. | Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper |
| Gary Foster | I love my Quicksilver 10.0 so well that I put my story of how I found it at my website, agrm-lv.com. Just click on "Livin Lite" to read the whole story. | Quicksilver Automotive Camper |
| Warren Kovash | I had an old Palomino Tent Trailer and in various sections the wood literally rotted away. I replaced several sections before moving on.
As someone who spent many hours fixing a rot problem I think it's a great idea to build a camper without wood. | Re: Quicksilver Automotive Camper |
| Paul Cooper | We bought ours in March this year. Love it. Everything they say is true. We pull with a Honda CRV and have used it most weekends since. No problems whatsoever and my 2 kids love it. | Re: Quicksilver automotive camper |
| Connie Ross | Quicksilver truck campers - I think these are cool. We had a truck camper that had rot. Fortunately we didn't keep it too long and didn't see how badly it rotted. This no rot design and materials used are a big improvement. I'm definitely going to look at this camper. Connie. | Re: Quicksilver truck campers by Livin' Lite |
| Marie | Quicksilver truck campers - Very interested in finding out how much this would cost. Its something I would consider buying since we pull a horse trailer to shows. This would solve our accomodations on how to stay on the grounds. | Re: Quicksilver truck campers by Livin' Lite |
| John | If you want quality, lite weight, virtually leak free, awesome resale and longevity try a fiberglass trailer. | Fiberglass trailers |
| Brad Boyd | We purchased a 10' in 2006. They are very basic - bare bones but very light. We pull ours with a minivan without any problems. Plenty of space for us plus 3 kids. Only complaint so far has been broken snaps on the travel tarp. I sprayed some silicone on them and it seems to be better. | 2006 Quicksilver tent camper by Livin' Lite |
| Mike Humes | This has got to be way better than our Coleman Sea Pine. I had terrible service from the dealer and when I wrote to Coleman they said they were sure that the dealer could take care of any problems. We've had popped rivets, wiring problems, cheaply made cabinetry and tank leaks. It looks good but we've had bad experience. The This camper looks good and we'll look for it. | Re: Quicksilver tent campers by Livin' Lite |
| Kate Walsh | We had a Starcraft Spacemaster that we used for about 6 years. We loved it but we did have some problems and it wasn't well made. It was a 1999 model maybe they're better made now. The quicksilver looks really good like the idea of all aluminum. The prices are really good too. I can't remember how much we paid for the starcraft but I'm sure it was more than this and that was almost 10 years ago. | Re: Quicksilver tent campers by Livin' Lite |
