Grand Design Reflection

Morning. Of you enter Grand Design in the search field above there are 11 pages of discussion about them. Happy surfing!

I have 2 friends with Grand designs Solitudes they are pretty 5th's and the Company stands behind their product, they have had little issues go wrong nothing major just like any other brand and they are doing nothing revolutionary in construction or anything but after RVing with my buddies Grand Designs for the last 1 1/2 years and I know them very well I would recommend them to Anybody

We like ours. As with any purchase, the dealer is the key. Grand Design has good people in charge of customer service at their facility.

I've had my 369RL for over a year. We are in it right now, on the coast. Two weeks ago we got back from our 4300 mile road trip. Couldn't be happier with it..

You might find this interesting.

We love our Reflection 303 RLS. We changed to 16" wheels and LT tires from our previous rig. We have spent about 6 weeks (5 at once) on the road, and about 2000 miles. We had a slide adjusted today, but no other warranty work. Tows great with our 2500. You can get more info on the grand design owners.com forum.

I have been looking into the 303. Did you just have to buy tires and rims to go to the 16 inch? The company told me they install larger springs on the 303 so it sits like it has 16 inch tires.. Was there anything you didn't like with the 15 inch tires since they are E rated?
Might be ordering one tommorow.

We did tire research, mostly on this forum. We changed our previous trailer to 16" LT tires. We are more comfortable with the higher max speed rating. We contacted Grand Design and worked with Micah Staley, Reflection general manager, to get the mod to allow 16" wheels. Our dealer seemed to have issues finding rims and tires so we just swapped ours from our trade in. We also kept our residential mattress.

Thanks for the info I might have to make a phone call to Micah on Monday. Do you remember the mod they had to do to the unit?

We have a 303RLS on order. The factory is quite approachable and has been very forth coming when it comes to answering questions. Owners on the GD forum indicate that doesn't end once you have taken delivery so that is reassuring. Factory reps are frequent posters on the forum.


One issue I do have is their reluctance to make any changes at the factory. Our model has two options, free standing dinette and thermopane windows. Dealers here order them as matter of course. If you want fantastic fans etc, you have to go through the trouble of removing the old vents, installing the new, re sealing the roof and having parts left over. I guess they figure these are production efficiencies they need to maintain a price point but can be quite inconvenient for a new owner.

I will also be removing the 16's from my present rig and putting them on the GD. I'm just not comfortable with running smaller wheels on a unit that is 2K heavier, even if the 15's are rated to carry the weight.
