In the Bedroom
There is a medicine cabinet over the toilet, though, so watch your noggin. Further, the model my friends got features a 16 foot Furrion 12 volt refrigerator. For all those who want larger fridges and seek-out a residential model, this is a far better solution. No inverter, it has a very large freezer section and a good sized refrigerator as well.
Thermostatically Controlled 12V Tank Heater
Further, under the counter are a whole bunch of drawers. The overwhelming feeling I get in this trailer is of space. The optional 16 cubic foot 12 volt fridge has a lot fo space for your food. I see more and more Furrion components in RVs for good reason. Lippert is very good at supply chain and delivering on promises which some friends in the RV industry told me was not a strong suit of Furrion in the past. This had somewhat traditional aluminum folding steps that have served we RVers very well for many years.

Then there’s a large u-shaped dinette in the rear of the trailer. That provides plenty of seating space for entertaining. While you might find that the weight of this trailer, including the pin weight, may be within the specifications of a half-ton truck these things have such large surface areas that you could experience control issues in windy conditions. With anything this large, you really do want as much control as possible and I don’t feel that a half-ton truck offers that.
Reflection 150 Series 298BH Fifth Wheel
Plus these newer 12 volt refrigerators are specifically designed for the harsh environment that are RVs. I do really like this system but it’s good to know that it only works on propane. Traditional RV water heaters often worked on both propane and electric but you simply can’t bring in enough electrical power in an RV to make a proper tankless water heater. This also now comes with a tankless water heater system.
New 2023 Grand Design Reflection 150 Series 280RS
The bathroom offers good space but somewhat limited storage. Further, this water heater has a number of built-in systems to even out temperature delivery so you won’t get the surprise blast of cold or hot water that had been part of tankless water heaters in the past. Like several RV manufacturers, Grand Design is marketing this unit specifically to owners of half-ton pickups. Honestly, the only fifth wheel I’d consider towing with a half-ton pickup is something like the Scamp 19 that we reviewed a while back.
Further, the trailer had a TST tire pressure monitoring system. The manufacturer of this trailer rates the hitch weight at 1,269 pounds. Our half-ton Ram 1500 has a cargo carrying capacity of roughly 1800 pounds. That leaves just 531 pounds of capacity for everything, including Peggy and I.
We produce top-of-the-line recreational vehicles that our customers and dealers know they can rely on. We couple this with unparalleled support to help you get on the road and stay on the road. Our Inside Sales Team is commited to answering any questions you may have. Please complete this attached form and one of Grand Design's product specialists will promptly get in touch with you to provide guidance as you make your purchase decision.
For example, the engineers have used a pocket door instead of the typical swing door that forces you to back down the stairs to open the bathroom door. The entertainment centre features a 40” LCD TCL Roku TV, Furrion DVD player and stereo. There is a very attractive 5,000 BTU electric fireplace below the TV. This fireplace sends a very nice warm breeze through the area. Take a minute to extend your awning and flip the switch to illuminate the LED lighting at the base of the awning support rails, and your campsite will have a very attractive evening ambiance. The rear hitch on the 295RL is a convenience hitch that is rated 300 lbs.
To add to this RV’s status as being well suited for entertaining, the kitchen is over in the front corner on the camp side. The solid counter top extends all the way along the camp side of the RV to the door. This would be a great situation for laying out some food for friends.
In the rare case that your Grand Design unit may need servicing, we want the process to be as quick and painless as possible. Your local dealer is best able to prioritize your service needs. However I really, really wish all RV companies would do a better job of educating people on the realities of towing these trailers. I think calling this a half ton towable fifth wheel is a disservice to people. I didn’t catch this but my friends pointed out that there’s really not a lot of storage in the bathroom but then there’s that closet in the bedroom.
This website is a service provided by Netsource Media, the creators of RVUSA.com - Your Online RV Classifieds, to further customer knowledge of Grand Design units. If you plan to travel in the dead of winter, you can specify an “Arctic 4-Seasons Protection Package” which has been tested in a climate-controlled chamber to a range from -6°F to +101°F. We tested the Reflection 295RL on a cold winter day when it was -10° C, and the furnace warmed up the trailer interior in about ten minutes to the point where we were comfortable, and after about 20 minutes the interior was 20° C. All prices are U.S. dollars and are F.O.B. Michigan City, Indiana. All other states and local taxes, if applicable, are the responsibility of the end user.
Lippert tends to be good at listening to customers and also working on developing solutions that work well. This site is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied. Our RV Destinations section will give you a starting point to plan your next journey or camping trip. Designed to provide everyone from full timers to occasional campers a complete resource, this section has links to campgrounds, resorts and local areas of interest all over the US. On the upper deck of this trailer is, of course, the bedroom which features a proper 60” X 80” queen-sized bed. Grand Design has also gone to Goodyear Endurance trailer tires and a MorRyde CRE 3000 suspension system.
With a fridge this large, though, I wish they offered more solar from the factory. This is something Keystone has really embraced and I think it’s an area where Grand Design absolutely should step up their game. The bathroom is a good size with a nice walk-in shower whose floor is not raised above the rest of the bathroom unlike in many RVs. No worries, mate, there is a lip there so you don’t flood the RV but it’s nice not to have to step down when getting out of the shower. The U-shaped dinette has a large table on a single pedestal mount and this table can swivel around. It is also easy to lower to make the dinette into a bed.
