Reflection or Columbus?

Can't tell you anything about the Columbus (Forest River product?), but we've been full-time in our Grand Design Reflection fifth wheel for a little over a year. The only significant issue we've had was with a Lippert-supplied suspension component and that's across the industry for any manufacturer that uses Lippert components. What I can tell you is that, for a mid-range RV, the fit, finish and workmanship on the Reflection are good. We toured the factory last week and a Montana owner on the tour said that the Reflection frames (we were looking at 337RLSs) were much heavier and better designed than the frame on his Montana (and I always thought Montanas were good units). Anyway, what sets Grand Design apart from the rest is their customer service. Check out the GD owners forum at:

We have a 2013 Columbus 320RS. If I had it to do all over again, I'd buy a Columbus 377MB. We went with the Columbus because of the numerous standard features. They now come with a 2 year warranty. It had the best bang for the buck.
We really like ours and wouldn't hesitate to recommend a Columbus to anyone.

We have a 2016 Columbus 385BH, we did look at the 377MB though. It is a great floor plan. We didn't like it because we thought the bunkroom was on the smallish side with only the capability for 2 to sleep there. The loft made up for that though. The other thing we didn't care for was the 377MB doesn't have an outdoor kitchen and that was something we really wanted with our new unit. The bunkroom in the Columbus 385BH is huge as it has opposing slides. The 377MB rear living space is very nice though. Tons of room to stretch out and relax. The build quality of the Columbus so far has been great. We have only experienced a couple very minor issues. I can't speak for the Reflection as I haven't seen one. Good luck!!

Columbus was our choice. The two year warranty coupled with the few inches wider and more standard features made us try the Columbus. So far we are happy with our choice. We just finished a 18000 km trip through the lower states and back to Canada and found that the Columbus towed like a dream. It is a four season unit with heated tanks.
