I'm looking for parts for my new (to us) 2011 QS 10.0 tent trailer.    I need some factory stuff, like the privacy screens.   Can anyone share links to sites to purchase LL parts?    Most equipment I've been able to get from RV stores otherwise.    Thanks.

if it is a common rv part, i usually go with amazon or http://www.discountrvparts.com/catalog/index.php .  i havent ever found any ll-specific parts though...may have to go back through ll for that stuff

I agree with @thudd3r, I havent found a part specific to LL yet, or at least nothing that must be factory replaced. However we do have a very active rep from LL on the forum @christianm who would be a great person to talk to about getting any replacement part you need.

Here is a trick for finding obscure parts: Do a google search on the part number or part of the part number.

I lost a cover to one of the red tail lights on my 16TBS. Neither Campers World, Amazon, Tweetys, etc. had an exact duplicate. So I removed the cover on one from the other side and plugged the middle part of the part number into Google. Voila! The search returned the name of the manufacturer- Opticon (which was no where on the light) and several on line vendors.

The cost was cheap but the shipping was three times the cost of the part!! Oh well, I will buy a couple of similar ones on Amazon and replace both sides.

I would post a picture of the inside of the tail light, but.....well, you know.

Most of the parts used in the manufacture of the camper are not propriety parts can be found locally, which is an added bonus on owning and maintaining the camper. With regards to the curtains, unless you wanted the actual ones that come with the camper then you may have to contact a dealer or Livinlite. As an alternative visit your local department store or online and look for grommet type curtain panels (but you would also need to select a fastener to attach the curtain to the Bimini bar) or you could select tab type curtains.

Looking for any info to order accessories/parts....  We live down in the Florida Keys with the nearest dealer in Alabama and I'm having a hard time getting them to call me back or answer questions!  Specifically interested in finding an for awning for a LL QS 8.1.  Thanks in advance!

Christian no longer supports this board.

I would first look at the campingword.com website. Once I found what will work I would see if it can be bought cheaper on Amazon or eBay.

Virtually everything except the aluminum frame that goes into a LL was supplied from some third party manufacturer and you can buy that stuff from on-line stores like Amazon.

Note that Sean set up an Amazon store with some member-recommended stuff: link in the top thread.

I've also found many specialty parts and a huge inventory at rvupgradestore.com (thanks to @charliem  for finding that site).

Thanks Guys!  Still not having any luck with an awning.  Called LL and they just offered me the part #'s.  Called some dealers they say it'll take a month or so to ship.  
Loving the camper so far.  Upgraded ac to an 8,000 but unit, since we are in S Flo after all.  Working on a mattress upgrade too.  
Happy Camping!

I agree that it is tough to get items like an awning. Our dealer no longer carries the Quicksilver line and was unwilling to help. As noted above, the factory is not helpful either. We ended up going with Prosser RV (http://www.prosserrv.com/) in Wisconsin, which is about as far away from you as they are from me (Seattle); but they were very helpful, willing to order anything, and reasonably priced. Their service tech, Emma (emma@prosserrv.com) was great.
