Yes it was sold, new owners are enjoying it.

Still hoping Livin Lite will make a small camper similar to the R-Pods, Jayco Hummingbird, etc., at least one with a small sink in the bathroom

The 6x15 is going to a good home today, after looking at the title and registration it turns out it's actually a 2014 model.

We looked at some Camplites (16TBS) and I decided the frontal area is huge compared to the narrow width of the 6x15 and wouldn't be as comfortable pulling it.

Picked up a little R-Pod 180 for this weeks Colorado trip, my wife wanted something with more "living" area since we never used it for hauling anything other than our bicycle.

Hopefully Livin Lite will eventually design a small camper along the lines of the small R-Pods, several other manufacturers are copying them now but the quality is typical rv industry construction, although the numbers of these units being sold are huge.

I'll still follow the enjoyable forum to keep tabs on the trailers.

We are considering parting ways with our toyhauler to make room for another unit dedicated to camping such as a Camplite 16TBS.
This was one of the last of the originals before the buyout by Thor.
We purchased it for transporting art to shows which we only did a couple of times. It has never had any type of vehicle in it except for our tandem bicycle.
Will consider trade for the right 16TBS with dual axles.

I assume you have Dexter axles on your trailer as mine does, I carry a data folder for the axles on board which includes the build sheet of the axle listing all parts and dimensions.

I located the model and serial number on the axle, called Dexter and they sent me an e-mail with the build data sheet.

Next go to dexteraxle.com and look under "resources" and download a handbook on maintenance which includes charts with the bearing sizes/part numbers and step by step instructions on bearing replacement and service including the electric brakes also, there is also a video section showing step by step instructions on replacing bearings, this is quite valuable because you will see exactly what tools you need to service the bearings.

I carry a couple of spare bearing kits and all tools and supplies to service them on board the trailer at all times. The kits were purchased from E-trailer.
My onboard service kit includes bearing kits, a can of bearing grease for packing new bearings, a grease gun and two tubes of grease,brass center punch, large hammer,block of wood.Carrying all this stuff is good insurance that i'll probably never need to use it on the road!

One final note. It is quite common for trailer owners to have their first bearing problem immediately after having their bearings replaced due to the torque of the axle nut not being properly torqued, usually too tight,it's a good idea to check them after a few miles at highway speed,a good indicator that they are too tight is when the grease turns to liquid.

We have a 2013 Livin Lite Quicksilver toyhauler with the aluminum roof, I washed the roof a couple of days ago and it looks new again. It's easy to spot the rafters and I walk on them when I'm working up there.

The drawback to the flat roof is the air conditioner (and rain) will pool water and you need to set the trailer up with the tongue higher.

I pulled the air conditioner (3 times the first year)) and built up the square opening with shims between the roof and rafters to eliminate water pooling in that particular area.

I agree that the roof structure is thinner than the rubber roof models which causes the air conditioner to be extremely loud, fortunately we try to camp in cooler climates in the summer months and rarely have to run the AC.

I also have the screwless exterior sidewalls but carry plenty of original type self tapping screws just in case.
