anyone with a Grand Design Reflection 295rl or similar

GD claims they are short bed friendly. We are looking at a 295rl or or similar size.

Will be upgrading to a f250 gasser. All I have seen on the lots are 6.5 ft beds I think. My f150 has a 5.5 ft bed and I know they are longer but not 8 foot.

Anyone with a light weight GD and a bed less than 8 foot? If so how does it work out ?

With the hitch they advertise could you still have a tool box in front of the hitch? My tool box is 18" but I think some are less.

Thanks, 5th wheel newbies here

  • We have a 303rls and a 2005 Dodge 2500 4wd short bed (6.5') and have a very good turn radius and plenty of cab clearance. I always stay away though when backing and turning tight. I have never used a slider hitch and this is the 3rd 5th wheel I've pulled with it.
