Quicksilver 6.0 Sleeping Arrangment

Me and my wife have had our 6.0 for 2 years now and love it! We just recently had a new addition to our family, a baby girl who is now 2 months old. My question is how many people, adults and children have people been able to sleep in their 6.0? Eventually we would like a second child and would love for the 6.0 to still fit our needs. Obviously a child can sleep on the jackknife sofa but maybe only till they are 4ft tall. Anyone have there little ones sleep in the floor?   Basically how many have y'all been able to cram inside a 6.0?

Sleeping on the sofa at angle is possible for someone taller than 4ft tall.  Otherwise, I predict a 10.0 is in your future.

I have a solution that might put off an upgrade for a few years. I have a pad in my QS6 that sits on two plastic tubs. With this, I have used the trailer with two adults and two teenagers. Cost less than $100. I will try to add some pictures with one compromise. My boss has rules (granddaughter Storm will only let me add pictures of her trailer with her included) so here are the pictures from our front yard. The pad is the same thickness as the sofa. It does limit floor area but there is about 8-10 inches at the end to allow for exit without standing on it. It is only a shorterm fix but has served its limited purpose well.

Wow. Interesting.
If I had some people to fit, I'd consider that. It really is a tent that's off the ground then.

That is exactly what I was looking for! We got a steal in our 6.0 when we purchased it so upgrade is a last resort for us.  Plus I am the type of guy that likes to fix the problem at hand with an off the wall solution as to just constantly throw money at another upgrade.  Do you have an ac unit with this mod? Another easy exit and entrance for the bed is to just unzip the bed end and hop out as opposed to climbing over anyone.  Once the little one gets older she might be up for sleeping in a tent right outside the door but till then I like this solution

Yes, I have an AC unit. The pad sits on a corner of it but weight is on the tubs underneath. The pad does cover part of the AC flow but I only use it at night and normally do not need all the output of air. I thought of climbing out the end but did not want to give my chocolate lab any new ideas.

First, congrats on the new addition!
I cant speak to actually sleeping a little one in the 6.0 but I can say, part of the reason we ended up with a larger unit was the size limitations with a growing family. If it were me I would see myself doing exactly the same thing as mjmoore17.
