Quicksilver 10.0 FAQ

[okeefe33]

Just some things that I found out while researching QS trailers:

What is the ball size?
2 inch

What is the tongue height?
Approximately 15 inches.

When hooked up to shore water, is there a need to pump the sink faucet to get water?
No.

When hooked up to shore power are the batteries being charged?
Yes. It also trickle charges the batteries when hooked up to the vehicle if you are using the 7-prong plug.

Are four stabilizer jacks standard?
Yes.

What are the dimensions of the dinette bed?
About 70 inches long and 48 inches wide.

What is the recommended battery size/rating?
Any deep-cycle marine battery. The battery pan is 8x13 inches.

What is the load of the fan/light combo?
Unknown. They are incandescent lights. I replaced my bulbs with a 6X8 LED panel from Amazon.

Do I have to fill the tires with nitrogen or can I fill them with air?
No. You do NOT have to fill the tires with nitrogen, air will suffice. Most big tire services can fill the tires with nitrogen at a premium cost.

Shore power converts AC to DC. Does the trailer also convert the DC power to AC?
No.

Does the LP package come with a bottle?
Yes, it comes with a 20 lb tank.

How do you hook up the sink while "dry" camping so that the pump works?
Connect the blue, 7-gallon jug to the appropriate line from the sink. The hoses have specific fittings, so you cannot hook up the wrong line. Plug the remaining line from the sink (the municipal water line) with a plug so that it is air tight. I recommend a male, 1/2", square-head, brass plug. Alternatively, you may hook up the remaining line from the sink (the municipal water line) to the hose connection from the outside and plug the outside municipal water inlet with an air tight plug. I used a male 5/8", PVC plug before I went to the previous method.

What is the actual "dry" weight of a QS 10.0 with the LP package and rear deck (as weighed on a calibrated truck scale)?
1200 pounds US

Does the axle come with brake mounts?
The Dexter Torflex axle that LL puts on their QS 10.0 does have brake mounts even if you do not order brakes with the trailer. At least mine did.

How long does it take to receive your trailer once it has been ordered?
Mine took TEN FULL weeks to get it to me in the summer. Of course it could be shorter if you live closer to the factory, but from what I have heard, that time is pretty standard.
