Hi Gadgetman, yes it does look a little pokey, but may bethe answer for someone will low towing capacity.

I called Jayco and they said they should have something on their site by Thursday.

Its the next thing on my shopping list.

I reckon the Outback version looks tough and is lightweight, perfect in the bush.

Unfortunately there is much room to play in the way of options and what not.

Its on my radar for 2012.

Had a look at one, seemed okay for the money but just a tad too small inside, SHMBO thought the main bed was too small, ended up ordering an Eagle..

Hey Janbo I just ordered and will be picking up my OB Dove next week(it was suppose to be yesterday but Jayco had taken delivery of the new awing and side walls so it's been delayed by 8-9 days) SWMBO and I were looking at the swift while at the Penrith Camping and caravan show and the on road model they had there look really good but like stated in the other comments I found it a bit too small for my liking and it had no front boot for storage but other than that they look like little rippers for a couple and really young kids and the price of the on road demo model they had there was IICRC $15995 drive away which I thought was pretty reasonable for people with limited towing ability and a good setup.
The OB model would be interesting to see especially with it's capability for being light enough to tow t a lot of places the other heavier models can go and also what the options for the swift would be and later on the brave person whom decides to strengthen the whole setup for full off-road camping.

Cheers
