Re: Grand Design Reflection 315RLTS Opinions?
mbopp wrote: Check out the Grand Design owners page on Facebook, it's a very active group. Good advice. This Facebook page has several postings every day and questions & issues are answered quickly. As for the 315RLST, we took delivery of ours right at 1 year ago. We have made 7-8 different trips since we got it and have thoroughly enjoyed each one thanks to our 315. I haven't checked my "trip ready" tongue weight, but our 2016 Silverado 2500 Duramax handles the big 315 just fine. We use the Equalizer 1400/14,000 4-point hitch and have no handling issues. The 315RLST has the same floor plan as the 337 fifth wheel, but in TT format. Our truck pulls it fine, plenty of space for storage, every thing works as intended. It has our highest endorsement. Check it out.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Searching for first TT, have questions.
All things considered, my pick of the 3 would be the Grand Design Imagine. I'm slightly biased. though - probably because we have a GD Reflection 315RLTS. Grand Design's customer service is top notch - they promptly take care of any issues that come up. The Heritage Glen is a nice looking unit, but I would be cautious of a Forest River product unless you know someone who has owned one. Just my 2 cent's worth.242Views0likes0CommentsRe: Best manufacture response
The LCI power tongue jack on our Grand Design 315 had a top cover that had cracked and was coming apart, exposing the electrical switches to the elements. Our dealer contacted Grand Design and we had the whole power tongue jack replaced the next day with a different model. Kudos to both our local dealer (Southaven RV) and Grand Design!390Views0likes0CommentsRe: Narrowed down to 3 and the research begins
To reply to the OP's original question, my wife & I bought a Grand Design 315RLST almost a year ago. We looked at a Jayco, and decided that Grand Design's reputation for exceptional customer service and overall appearance of the 315 put it on top for us. We have not regretted that decision for a moment. Sure, we have had a couple of minor issues, but our dealer, in cooperation with Grand Design, have taken care of everything quickly and cheerfully. Recommended without any reservation.612Views0likes0CommentsRe: Why no over 40-foot trailers?
TxGearhead wrote: And here I was thinking about getting a Grand Design 315RLTS travel trailer that is 38ft long. I was wanting to lower that 3600# load on the truck and lower that 13'6" height of our 5th wheel. Y'all got me all skeered. So that TT is too long to pull down the road compared to a 36ft 5th wheel? I've had 2 cabovers, 1 motorhome, and am on our 2nd 5th wheel. Just never pulled a TT. We have the Grand Design 315RLTS and pull it with a Chevy 2500 crew cab with the standard bed and the Duramax diesel. We use a 1400/14,000 Equalizer 4-point hitch to hook the trailer to the TV. This combination pulls great and handles really well despite the length.(best guess that overall length is 60-61 ft.) If you want the Grand Design, then get it and go have fun with it. We've made several 1100 mile trips with ours and never had any issues.544Views0likes0CommentsRe: Total or partial cover
Good idea, Cobra21. You're right in that a roof-only cover would cover the most important parts and be MUCH easier to put on and take off. We're kind of leaning toward the roof cover at this point, but will look at the other option when it gets closer to making a final decision. Appreciate your input.271Views0likes0CommentsTotal or partial cover
Not sure is this if the right place for this topic, but here it is. We purchased a GD 315RLST in February of this year. By the time we took delivery, winter was pretty much over (not too much in the south, anyway) and we did not do anything pertaining to covering. In looking forward to this winter, we will be obtaining a cover this fall before winterizing it for the winter. We have looked at full covers from several makers and also at a roof-only cover from ADCO.The roof-only cover is about 1/3rd the cost of a full cover and should be easier to put on. Here in the south (Memphis area) we do not get much snow, only some cold temps and occasion sleet. Anyone have any ideas as to which way to go as far as getting a cover is concerned? The cost is not an issue - we just hate to buy more than we need, but will if necessary.1.7KViews0likes7Comments
