[font size="4"][font face="trebuchet ms"]I'm a newbie hoping to purchase a QS 6.0 in the next month or so.  Are there differences between the TowMini (marketed to Mini Cooper owners), the Coleman and Quicksilver?  It appears the factory in Indiana makes all them, just under different labels.  Is that correct?  As we're shopping for the best deal, it would be helpful to know.  Thanks.

They are all the same basic units as I understand it. Like anything sold under different labels there might be minor differences, but I wouldn't expect much to change between the brands.

[font face="trebuchet ms"][font size="4"]Thanks, Sean.  The pricing for the Jeep brand is significantly higher.  But the TowMini and Coleman brands are consistent with the QuickSilver prices.  The only difference I can discern in the Jeep brand (besides the name) is that it uses the off-road package.  Which clearly doesn't account for a $4,000 difference in price.

I'm a big Jeep guy and it doesn't matter what the product is, anything that hold the official Jeep brand is always over priced.

[/font][/font][/quote]Hi there...I love my 6.0! I tow it with a Toyota Matrix! I find that the deck platform is essential for both traveling and using for storage while at campsite! And I agree with Sean...the light is so handy! Personally I think the privacy drapes would make the trailer feel quite small!
the one thing I did do ....was remove the table and have replaced it with a broadstone table with 4 storage compartments underneath! 
Enjoy it!

The QS and the Coleman Automotive tent campers are made by Livin Lite and are the same product.  The Coleman brand is just marketed to Camping World stores in the US.  The Jeep brand is trail tested by JEEP and is price according to using the JEEP brand name.  The Jeep Extreme Trail Edition will have the large off road tires.  Hope this helps.
