Our camper

We purchased a Living Lite Quicksilver 10 in the Fall of 2010, and drove up to Indiana to pick it up. It's 10 feet long packed up, and 20 feet long when opened up. It's considered a pop up, but unlike the traditional ones with a hard roof, the top is a tent. It's fairly easy to set up, and takes us about 20 minutes to open up and get things in place. I'm sure as we gain experience it'll be a little faster.
We've loved camping for a long time, but do not relish camping in Florida for most of the year. Also do not relish camping in the pouring down rain, and floating around on our air mattresses. Therefore, the purchase of our QS 10, which is fairly rain proof (though not lightning proof I'm told) and has a spot for a small air conditioner.

 There are two queen size beds on either side, a small kitchen area with sink and a table with 2 bench seats on either side. Check out more photos of the interior and other details at the company website, under our links section.
We chose a red color for the body of the camper, because of our red truck. Ironically, our first trip was with our blue Hyundai Tucson. Still looked pretty patriotic.

This photo was taken along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia.
I will write other posts about the various campgrounds in our travels, including the first night we camped in our QS 10.
So far we don't have a name for the camper. I'm not that creative on those fronts, so don't anticipate there will be one.
Onward to the meat of the blog......
