  • "Innovative and quality construction that will last a lifetime"

  • "Sleek automotive exterior design that comes in a variety of colors"

Livin' Light says: "The concept for the original pop-up tent camper came into being in an attempt to offer campers an affordable alternative to tent camping. In the beginning, most pop-up tent campers were basically a means to move off the ground when sleeping, or to gather in case of inclement weather."

Base MSRPs - 5.0 - $4,500, 8.0 - $5,800, 10.0 - $6,300

Most pop-ups have plywood floors and plywood bed bases; are made with 1" wood "sticks" in the walls and have added more and more features to compete with hard-walled units. This added cost and weight - pricing most tent campers out of the entry-level market, and needing a bigger tow vehicle!

Livin' Lite says - "We are focused on getting back to the basics. The QUICKSILVER is designed to provide what most families and weekend warriors are looking for—ease of towing, innovative and quality construction that will last a lifetime, comfortable beds and practical uses—all for less or near the price of comparably-equipped plywood and stick built models.

Consider that the QUICKSILVER is light enough to be towed by the average car or mini-van, and features a sleek automotive exterior design that comes in a variety of colors, and you are looking at the best overall camping value for your hard earned money."

Gary FosterI 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.
Warren KovashI 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.
Paul CooperWe 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.
JohnIf you want quality, lite weight, virtually leak free, awesome resale and longevity try a fiberglass trailer.
Brad BoydWe 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.
Mike HumesThis 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.
Kate WalshWe 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.
