Livinlite Campers Sightings

[aznighthiker]

While visiting the campground just outside of Payson, Arizona I came across my first Quicksilver popup camper. The first I have actually seen (other than ours). Talked with the campers and exchanged information about this web site. I have previous seen a Livinlite Pickup camper, other sightings the past couple of years have been on the road near Tucson, the Black Canyon (I-17) highway and on the Beeline (AZ-87).

I was in the Garner NC area last night visiting the new Cabelas and noticed a Camplite truck camper pulling out. It was grey on what looked like a tan truck. Unfortunately I didnt get a good look at it. The styling looked like it might have been a Ram truck.

Observed a Camplite travel trailer drive thru Payson and it was repainted in woodland camo. Looked like one of the 16 models.

On a side note... Cabelas is a great "FREE"  camp site.  They dont require permission. Usually a free dump site. Also water is available at a common spigot.   Only recommendation is stay clear of 18 wheeler rigs unless the drone of a diesel puts you to sleep.

[/quote]Through five full, very long seasons (we were out 99 consecutive days last year) we have been disappointed to see very few Quicksilvers and often wonder, Where the heck are they? I'm pretty sure that in five years we have seen five Quicksilvers total, though it's always Old Home Week when we find one, and everyone that owns one loves it. Last year we saw our first Camplite ever. I think it was a 16, and they bought it from a first owner. They loved it (yay)! We are always on the lookout for Livin' Lite products but are surprised that we don't see very many. Also, we are surprised that we don't get more inquiries on our camper. We actually carry some Quicksilver brochures, but people are not lining up to find out "What is that?" The first question that many ask is, "Where's the roof?" We are always happy to explain the whole thing, but usually all we get is a polite "That's very nice" and away they wander. The crowd that shows the most interest is the on-the-ground crowd looking to get off the ground, like we were in 2010. Livin' Lite must be making money, but where the heck are the campers?  8-|

So far I've learned that even RV accessory stores and repair centers are totally oblivious to the brand. Campers in the parks I've spoken with, when they ask about the "funky windows" get the one-liner. "No wood". A couple have proceeded to agree that particle board stinks and they wish they didn't have it either.

I use this opportunity to let them tell me all about theirs and how it's better than our dinky little thing....lol. The dog growls a bit though.

While camping in Northern California in our 2013 16 DBS (which we purchased with no graphics) we had several people in the camp grounds come over to our camper to inquire about it. At least 50% of them asked me if I built it myself. Only wish I was that good. Have a 21BHS on order (again with no graphics) and can't wait to hit the same campground. I'll tell them I just put on an addition .

I usually get.. "Well if you wanted aluminum .... why didnt you buy an Airstream?"

The reason I purchased a CampLite, it has aluminum floor. Airstreams built in the US have wood floors.

Black and Silver Quicksilver VRV sighted on US 101 in Seaside, OR today.

Saw a 14 yesterday on I-76 somewhere east of Denver.

In three years of camping, first time I've seen a Camplite 'in the wild'.

We are presently camping 200 yards from a grey 21'er. She's is pulling with an older Ford F350 crew cab from SC. We are in Cape Ann, Gloucester,MA. She gave us the Peace sign on the way in. Must meet and greet. It's the only other Camp lite we have ever seen...

[p]Anyways, here is our only ever encounter with a creature of the Camplite variety that was not ours. Hope I'm not getting anyone in trouble!...heh
