after reading a few different forums i saw that some people complained about the alumn floor getting cold..   

  so i made a template and cut some rubber backed carpet to fit.    turned out pretty good.   hopefully it helps some..

 i have a QS 8.1.  a friend recommended a ceramic heater to take the edge off if it happens to get cool out..    anyone have a recommendation on what size would do the trick?


i won't be out in 30 degree weather (by choice anyway) but say in the mid 40's..

thanks in advance...

  so i have a 2011 QS 8.1 and would like an awning..  the new QS uses an YKKK zipper and the 2011 uses an IDEA zipper so i'm afraid if i buy a new awning that the zippers won't mesh...     does anyone have any clever ideas on how to make and attach an awning for this thing?


  thanks in advance..

  i'd like to buy an awning kit for my 2011 QS 8.1. where can i buy one?  can i buy them right from Livin lite?  or does it have to be a dealer?  closest dealer is 2 hours away which kinda sucks if i have to go that route..

so i bought a QS 8.1 today..   the canvas has a few spots that need cleaning..   what is the preferred product to use to clean the inside and outside of the canvas? should i treat the canvas with anything?  something like 303 areospace products or anything?

is this forum run by linin'lite itself?

is there a "new posts" button anywhere that i'm just not seeing?

i joined the other forum just in time to see its being shut down..   then i joined Aluminium Camper Forum and between the two i think i gathered enough decision to make a decent purchase....


  today i drove to lancaster pa area to look at a 2010 QS 8.0.   i was on the fence about buying it. it needed a few things but was in decent shape i thought.  asking price was $3750 i know he would have come down some too... i  was gong to call the guy back about the 2015 unit i looked at the other day  to see if he would come down from the $6400 out the door price (also needing work) but before doing so i happened to walk past what i thought were 3 10.0 units.  then i looked and was like thats too short to be a 10.0.   it was in a lot better shape then any of the others there and turned out to be a 8.1.   i called the wife and talked to her about it and she thought the bed sizes would work out better for us.   so i got the sales man to open it up and i went over it.  looks good..  its a former rental like the others but is in pretty good shape i think..   ended up making a deal on it.  would only drop to $3700 ($4167 out the door) on it because he said it was rented a lot less then the 8.0 units.  said most preferred to have the same size beds on each end..    hopefully i did ok on it..

  so i will pick it up on the 20th.    kinda excited..    going to have to figure out what supplies i'll have to bring camping now...



  i guess my first question will be:    what do ya clean the canvass with?  this isn't horrible but has a few spots that need to be cleaned...    also is there anything you need to treat the canvass and cover with?  something like 303 Products Aerospace Protectant or anything?

here are a few crappy phone pics..
