In my research shopping I have run across these trailers, are they the same product, if not what are the differences>
I believe they are, I have heard nothing different.
I do not know for certain, but as far as I can tell the Coleman version is just a rebranded Livin' Lite. Here's a link to a Camping World ad for a 2015 8.0: http://www.campingworld.com/rvsales/pop-up/2015/livin-lite-coleman/400003/
According to an article in RV Business ( http://www.rvbusiness.com/2014/04/livin-lite-rv-resurrects-iconic-coleman-camper-2/ ) Livin' Lite started making these almost exactly a year ago. If you look closely at the photos on the Camping World ad, I see what looks like a plastic stone shield over the aluminum one, and the Coleman name, but other than that the pictures are of a plain old fashioned QS 8.0. Identical in every detail. It looks to me as if it's just a way to sell more Quicksilvers, and I don't think that's a bad thing at all.
[font face="arial"]We bought our Quicksilver 10.0 two weeks ago and were surprised to find the Coleman logo on it. The dealership told us that Coleman bought the rights to put their name on the Livin'Light camper and they went for it because the name has more recognition than Livin'Light. So, same product, different brand name.

The Quciksilver 10 and the Coleman 10 are the same product both made by livin Lite. The Coleman will have the Coleman baging, the only difference, and is licensed to be carried by Camping World stores throughout the US.
Just brought our 8.0 Coleman Bearcat home tonight and converted it to a LivinLite. We pulled the Coleman badges off. :)
We shopped both Camper world and a LL dealer this weekend. I can assure you they are exactly the same trailer. Ours even has the LivinLite.com sticker on the back.
I also have the Coleman branded camper. Tempted to take the plastic Coleman badges off as you did. They look a little cheap and do not even seem very well applied. I may just wait till they fall off on their own.
