Nice. We also have a Swivelwheel. However we got ours years ago before they came out with a cover. We were looking at getting one if we can fit our Goldwing inside.
Can you provide your experiences with the cover (set up, removal, sturdiness, reaction while underway)?
For us it was a great option instead of getting the toy hauler. The Swivel Wheel trailer works great. You do need to plan a little extra time to unload and load though. Also at some sites we are able to leave the swivel wheel hooked up in the site and unload and load right there. Other times we may have to unload, and unhook swivel wheel and then set up into the site. We've excepted this little hassle, as we feel we have much more of a 5er this way. We don't always take the bike with us.
The swivel wheel takes about half the weight off the hitch. We carry the Harley Ultra Limited Low back there at about 860 lbs. So it removed about 400 lbs off the hitch. I did load some weight in the front cargo compartment, to compensate. It travels very well and I'm very happy with it.

The only things I see is were the entry door, along with the dinning table is different because our door is in the slide. Also the passage to the bedroom is on a different side, bedroom also looks the same, I believe you have a King Bed as well do....
Nice look 5er, the living space is what the DW and I really sold us as ours like yours there is tons of room. If we had look at your model we more than likely would have bought the Grand design do to the fact of the room in the living space like ours has ....
Also the outside looks pretty close except for the window placement, I see the auto levelers are in the same place. I wonder if your leveler and awning controls are both inside an out side under the right cargo side door as ours are ....
Our awning switch is on the inside on the panel in the hall way. Our leveling switch is on the driver side on the cargo panel door, where the electrical cord, water hose, and satellite/cable connections are.
Ok, ours is also in the hallway but the outside LCI control panel is on the passengers side storage compartment ...

It's been a busy summer and haven't checked in here much. The swivel wheel has worked great for us. We do allow ourselves an extra 45 minutes for setting up and packing up. Sometimes we're able to leave the swivel wheel hooked up at our site and are able to unload and load right there. Other times we need to unload the bike and unhook the trailer before pulling into the site. Yes, that part is a bit of a pain but we are so much happier with our Cedar Creek as we just didn't like any of the toyhaulers. It's really not that big of a deal to us when that's what we do and what we plan for.
The ramp for loading the bike works good, I did take a 10" x 8' 1 inch board and painted it with non-skid that I put down on the ramp to make it easier to load.
It travels great, and the cover is fantastic. I have a camera on the back of the 5er to keep an eye on it. There is a bit of overswing when turning, so you do need to be a bit careful with that.
I'm very happy with it and would do it the same way again. It does draw a lot of attention.

After almost 30 years and 4 different pop-up campers, we made the jump to a 5th wheel. 2002 Gulfstream Innsbruck towed by a 2007 Ram 2500.

Our new Reflection 29RS.
Our first 5th wheel...had 3 bunkhouse travel trailers prior.
Andersen rail mount hitch with ball in lowest position and adapter facing rearward. If I reverse the adapter the trailer will move even farther back...I have the bedrail clearance it looks like, so we'll see.
Shakedown trip right now in Whistler, BC ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")
Cheers,
Mike

First rig was a Greywolf 26RL. We only purchased it in June 2017 and already love the RV live enough to move up to a Rockwood 2650WS 5th Wheel.
Embarrassed to say I have not figured out how post photos, but will figure it out soon and get a shot from our first trip in it.
The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.
Newbie RV fan, but every trip is an education!

It is very easy to post pictures on our forums. Here is an easier way than using the picture posting icon that has been the normal in the past.
One of our moderators, 1492, developed this app to post your pictures. It works for other internet sites also. There is no need to have a separate hosting site for your pictures in order to use it.
It is very simple to use.
1. Upload your picture from your computer to the app.
2. Copy the resulting URL.
3. Paste that URL into your post without ANY changes. No additions or deletions.
Your picture will then appear in your post and be properly sized for use on our forums.
