First trip went fantastic!!! Love our new camper---so roomy after the Perris Pacer.

2 things to look into:

1. Fantastic Fan does not shut by itself (it's supposed to--same model we have in Pacer). Dealership thought they had it working when we left, but no go. Can still close it manually.

2. Noticed when we got camper home tonight the hubs of both wheels were HOT! I was under the impression this was a no-no. We would always check the Pacer wheels when stopped to get gas, etc. But they did not have electric brakes hooked up. The drive tonight was only 20 mins---am I correct in assuming this needs attention?!?!?!?

Observation: Yepppppp---the tanks in the Swift SLX are small No biggie--I knew they would be ---just didn't know I'd be so lousy at conservation! After 2.5 days the fresh water was gone, they gray tank was full, and black was 1/3 full. Had to use the stinky primitive toilet the last 1/2 day and wash dishes outside with water from nearby pump. Again--no biggie---it's what I did with the Pacer. We are looking into the infamous Blue Tote

Now---to name my new play toy!!!

please have your wheels checked, after about 100 miles we found that the wheels on our swift 184 were not properly installed at the factory, mechanic said we were lucky we did not lose a wheel. bearings and seals were ok, so repacked with grease and re installed and properly tightened wheels. you may not have this issue but please be careful....happy camping!

X2 on having your wheels checked. Be safe. You have a lot of nice pictures there and the blue boy is worth every penny when you need it.

Sweet rig PugMom. Thanks for the great pics. Hey, I like "Bean" too! Is "Bean" the Perris Pacer you refer to in your post?
