2016 Livin Lite Quicksilver 10.0 For Sale
I am selling a very nice 2016 Quicksilver 10.0 in excellent condition.  These tent campers are made from all aluminum and are lightweight, yet are very roomy.  Sleeps 5-6 on three beds.  I have made many significant improvements.

The camper comes with the original options:
-EXTRA (NEW) TENT – still in the original box (this is in addition to the current tent)
-Rear deck
-LP package (20lb propane bottle, furnace, outside LP outlet)
-Dinette table, benches and cushions (can be setup as a bed) ***see note below
-Outside small table that attaches to the side of the camper
-2 combination fan/light fixtures
-Original 3" mattresses
-Awning + poles (zips onto the tent above the door)
-7gal water jug
-30A cable
-Water hose

The original tent is still in good condition.  There is one small (2") tear in the roof on the end of one of the bunks which I repaired and does not leak.  The seams have been conditioned and we have stayed dry during heavy rains (a few drips on the sides here and there).  The box is likewise in good shape with a few minor cosmetic marks from normal use. 

In addition, I have made the following improvements.  These were all done in late 2022 or early 2023.
-Added electric brakes
-Added 7-way electric connection + Breakaway switch
-Replaced the original 5000btu A/C with a new 8000btu A/C
-New tonneau cover
-New Popup Gizmo (reflective tarp to cover the tent – works amazingly well for temp regulation and keeps things that much more dry)
-Storage cover (carcover.com)
-Replaced the stock power center with a Progressive Dynamics PD4045KA.  Works with both lead acid and Lithium batteries.
-I used a large LiFePO4 battery that I moved into the galley.  If using a lead acid battery, you will need to move cables to the tongue and place the lead acid battery there.  NOTE: battery is NOT INCLUDED with the sale.
-2000W Krieger inverter
-Battery disconnect switch
-Battery meter with shunt
-Added several USB charging ports in the galley
-New Dexter axle installed Spring 2023.
-New tires (3 - 2+spare)
-Rear aluminum toolbox
-Added dimmable LED string lights to the bimini poles (much better than the combo fan/lights)
-Added foam mats over the aluminum beds for insulation
-Added straps to hold the mattresses in place while opening/closing
-Instead of the original mattresses we used 3" memory foam tri-fold mattresses, which are included unless the buyer does not want them.
-Added setup straps on the end bimini poles so one person can setup the camper.  Pull the strap from the bunk end to pull the tent into place.
-Replaced the plastic pump water faucet with fold down stainless steel faucet
-Added a small battery operated water pump for dispensing drinking water from the 7gal jug
-Added a second 4" PVC pipe underneath to store the awning poles.
-Replaced much of the hardware with stainless steel screws
-Stripped and repainted rusty steps
-Replaced stabilizer jacks
-New tongue jack
-Replaced water connections with quick connects
-Added strong magnets to the outside of the door, with a steel rod in the window tent panel.  The steel rod holds the tent door shut on the magnets.
-Added small towel rods that clamp onto the bimini poles for extra hanging space.
-Added long towel rods that clamp onto the outside bed supports underneath the bunks to hang up towels etc outside. 
-Snap tool and extra snaps
-Title in hand

***We took out the original bench seats and table and instead used a Serta futon as a bench and bed.  It also has two drawers for storage underneath the futon.  The buyer has the option to purchase the futon at extra cost. 
We used the camper on one long trip and a few short trips and it served us very well.  We pulled it with a 2019 Honda CR-V with 1500lb tow capacity.  The official sticker weight GVWR is 1499lbs, max payload 479lbs.  With everything loaded except for clothes and bedding the trailer weighed approximately 1400lbs, tongue weight is around 200lbs.

For Sale / Re: Wanted Quicksilver 10.0 Tent Camper

Actually I found a 10.0 a few weeks ago.  Thanks for the offer, and I'm sure you won't have a problem selling your 8.1.  You should list it on the Facebook page if you haven't already.

Wow, it is very ironic that you posted your message today.  I literally just got home from picking up a new-to-me 2016 Quicksilver 10.0!  Found it on Facebook marketplace and it was about 4hrs from me.  The previous owner agreed to meet half way and we spent about an hour talking through setting it up and inspecting everything.  Now we just need to find the time to use it.

For Sale / Wanted Quicksilver 10.0 Tent Camper

I'm not sure the wife will approve yet  :D but I'm looking for a 2015-2018 Quicksilver 10.0 tent camper.  Required options are A/C and LP package, and electric brakes would be a great but not required.  If you have one you're willing to discuss, please let me know.

I am looking at possibly buying a QS 10 or 8.1.  These campers are basically the only ones I can pull with my vehicle (1500lbs dry), so I was disappointed that these are not being made anymore.

Some of the websites where I have seen for sale ads look a little sketchy or not maintained for accurate info.

Where are good places to look for used QS campers?

Thanks in advance.
