We’ve sold our diesel pusher coach and are looking for a more manageable size 5th wheel. This will be our first 5th wheel and we’ve narrowed the choices to a Grand Design Reflection 303 RLS and a K-Z Durango 281RLT. They both look great with the major difference being the side of the living area with the most windows. The Reflection windows (dining area, etc) are mostly on the right side, the Durango windows are mostly on the left. We would appreciate thoughts – pros and cons from some experienced 5th wheelers. Thank you!

The one with the MOST windows in the MAIN Area....Sites are not set up with views just out one side or other.Some times you see more out curbside windowsSome times you see more out roadside windowsSome times you see more out rear windowSome times you see too much out any windows......Sewer hookups etc.Our 5th wheel has Large rear window with similar size windows in living room opposing slide outs so we had a view regardless of which direction 5vr was parkedThe GD Reflection seems to have the most viewing

The one with the floor plan your wife likes best!

I would chose the most appealing floor plan. But if the two were equal I would choose the windows on the curb side. I would rather look out on my outside living area than my neighbor's on the other side.

100% on the curb side. I like to be able to have a view of my spot, not the road or the neighbors picnic table.My dining slide is on the street side. Hate it.

What ^^^^ he said! Chris

x3. We've had both and much prefer the curb side, which is what our current unit has.

Most of our windows are on the curb side and I prefer it that way. It is more open to our "yard" side and less to the neighbor's yard.

Most, but not all, campsites have the table and fire ring area (your front lawn) on the curb side.
I wanted windows on that side.

Sites are not set up with views just out one side or other.

Some times you see more out curbside windows
Some times you see more out roadside windows
Some times you see more out rear window

Some times you see too much out any windows......Sewer hookups etc.

Our 5th wheel has Large rear window with similar size windows in living room opposing slide outs so we had a view regardless of which direction 5vr was parked

The GD Reflection seems to have the most viewing

I would imagine that looking out a window in a campground is like living in a sub division and looking out your windows at home and seeing... another house. But instead seeing another RV.

Not something I do because I don't camp in campgrounds unless I have to.

There are CAMPGROUNDS and then there are RV PARKS......:B
