RoamingTimes.com
did not choose a Green RV in 2009, but
Livin Lite RV was named the
RoamingTimes.com Green RV of the Year
2008.
Since then it has gone from a small start-up manufacturer to being
recently named one of INC. magazines 500
fastest growing US companies. INC gave a
Livin Lite's 3 year growth figure as
611% and said that Livin' Lite's
Quicksilver camper was named Roaming
Times' Green RV of the year in 2008 for
its energy-saving lightness, long-life
all-aluminum construction, and
completely formaldehyde-free
construction.

Why was Livin Lite chosen? -
You can read the press release here.
When the press release was made, Scott Tuttle,
Livin Lite President said "I am truly amazed at
how much traction this story is getting. It has
literally been picked up by just about every
major; mid; and minor news organization out
there!!!! Bravo to Roaming Times." And in
early 2009, when the market for RVs was down:
"THANKS! We are one of the few RV
manufacturers that I know that had our
production scheduled out through March.
Your E-magazine has been a big part of that, and
for that I thank you."
Livin Lite went on to make other products of
course and RoamingTimes.com helped promote them.
The CampLite for example; Scott Tuttle told
RoamingTimes.com: "I received a great email
today – typically of what I have been getting
from a lot of potential customers. It said, 'We
just found your CAMPLITE on the web on Roaming
Times, and discovered that we can pull your
trailer with our new JEEP Patriot. So far, it is
the only trailer that we found that we can pull
with our new JEEP!' "
Since then Livin Lite have produced a trailer
for Jeep -
