Quicksilver says the all-new 6.0 is “builds on our most popular camper up to this point, the 5.0 QUICKSILVER, with its single bunk design. But while it is still a single bunk camper, we have listened to customer’s input and incorporated enough design and product enhancements, that we felt like a new model designation was in order. The all-new 6.0 QUICKSILVER takes the popular 5.0 concept and adds a new dimension to it by “turning” the box as it sits on the axle. For example, the 5.0 it is 6′ wide by 5′ long, while the 6.0 turns that box and adds 6″ to the length – making it 5′ wide behind the tow vehicle for better aerodynamics and fuel economy. It also makes it easier for small cars to see around the camper with their stock mirrors when towing.”
“With the 6.0 “turned” sideways, you now have a 5′ vehicle pulling a 5′ wide trailer – which is much easier on the gas mileage and much easier to see around, providing additional safety as you tow. We have also given the 6.0 our aerodynamic, tear-drop front end like our other trailers, as well as lengthened the unit by 6″, which makes the bunk 6″ longer (now 6′-6″) by 60″ wide, adding some nice extra sleeping space for our campers. The extra 6″ of interior spaciousness really helps as well. Another added feature is a permanent fold-out step. Finally, the fact that you can open up the 6.0 QUICKSILVER and set it up while it is still attached to the tow vehicle adds a new dimension of flexibility. This will come in handy on nights when you just want to pull over and get catch some quick ZZZs, and don’t want to have to unhook the camper from your vehicle.”
