Thankyou Merlin. I expect dmazzei has long since resolved his questions. Just thought I'd share my experience. I wanted to mount 2 bikes as close to the camper body as possible and this rack accomplished this with minimal materials and effort, assuming one has access to a welder or a local fab shop.
We love the Quicksilver popup. We are retired, and up until the pandemic hit, we travelled 6-8 weeks, twice a year, in the spring and fall. We have made numerous small modifications including mounting a couple of exterior aluminum utility boxes, a solar charging system, and a wood heat stove. We ditched the sink and grey water system - just to simplify life a bit.
We bought our Quicksilver, built-to-order in Aug-Sept of 2010 in Wakarusa. We have a deep respect for Scott Tuttle's original concept: Make it light, simple and built to last. We have casually kept in touch with the up and down path traversed by the LivinLite team over the years, through a major factory fire, to relocations, to mergers and buyouts through Thor, Ford and K-Z.
I like happy endings in my stories. I don't know Scott Tuttle, but I came to know some of his team during the build of our Quicksilver 8.0. They were dedicated craftsmen and camping enthusiasts. I would have liked to see the company grow steady and slow while staying focused on the original concepts. I hope Scott and the crew I worked with landed on their feet and are doing things which are rewarding. Their products have made my family richer in the things that count.
