| Len Parkinson | Just goes to show if you're making things that people really want you're unstoppable. |
| 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.

| David | Just goes to prove that success is really tied to the quality of the product. Congratulations Livin Lite. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Julie | This looks like a copy of the Time Out Trailers camper. Will there be a problem in the future since the have a patent on theirs? |
| Colin | Skip J - the factory burnt down and they were up and running again very quickly. Good company, good product. |
| 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. |
| SkipJ | I read that the Livin lite factory burned down. Am I wrong? |
| 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... |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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 |
| 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.

| 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. |
| 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 |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| John | If you want quality, lite weight, virtually leak free, awesome resale and longevity try a fiberglass trailer. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
