Grand Design Reflection reviews

We've had the RV for just over 4 years. Bought new. We do not travel with the unit. It is on a seasonal site. However I did move it 60 miles from the original seasonal location to another and it towed very well. The only real issue we've ever had was the Norcold 1210 model refrigerator. The original one was DOA upon us taking delivery. It was replaced quickly and that unit lasted about 2 years. GD was helpful in coordinating a replacement unit along with our dealer. That one failed as well. I replaced it with a residential refrigerator. I replaced the bathroom faucet as well. The original was simply too low to the sink bowl. A simple and easy process. Otherwise the floor plan, storage and overall functionality has been awesome for us. Show less

I used to own a trailer dealership and I have hauled every size trailer. This trailer hauls and travels great. It has been a great trailer. I had a bad fridge but it was replaced. The only disappointment is the rust on the powder coated Lippert frame. Show less

The floor plan is similar to other rigs with the opposing slides. This maximizes the living area and kitchen. Design wise the kitchen slide is large and on a Shwintek system. We have had this replaced under warranty. Would like to have lights over the island, for some reason this unit does not have them. The rig tows very well, and storage is good. Show less

We lived in our RV for almost 4 years, and it has treated us very nicely and without any problems. This layout gave us so much room and storage for everything we could ever need. We did upgrade our fridge to a Samsung residential fridge for more space as we were living it in. Show less

Love the camper but have had FOUR GE air conditioning units go down in less the TWO years! And we are not full timers. We didn't even take it out during the hot part of the summer in our second season for fear it would fail again... and sure enough. First trip out this summer and another AC unit went down. Annoying beyond words. If Grand Design doesn't change AC brands I will not be able to buy another unit from them, which is a shame because we love everything else about it. I will say, so far Grand Design has replaced all the units and my dealer has made the exchange as easy as possible but it is still a MAJOR pain. We live an hour from our dealer. Show less

We recently purchased a new 2024 GD Reflection. We were preparing for our first trip, and the #3 slide (bedroom) wouldn’t extend. Took it to the dealer and one of the motors is bad. Also, the entry door doesn’t latch without holding open the handle. We’ll have to cancel our trip. Contacted GD about reimbursing unrefunded deposit and they said no. We had a Forest River Rockwood for six years with no warranty issues, and minor repairs. We opted for the GD, because we were told they are quality. What a lie. So far this one is crap. DON’T buy a Grand Design. We should have stick with Forest River. Show less

I feel Grand Design is the best quality trailer on the market. Where other companies use particle board, Grand Design uses plywood. The quality is apparent when walking into a Grand Design vs any other brand in the same price range. I was really surprised by the “livability”. Truly, with this model you feel like you haven’t left home. The kitchen island is such a nice feature. It makes the kitchen design so user friendly, especially if you have people or pets in your trailer while you are trying to cook. The couch, theatre chairs, and big screen TV make it perfect for relaxing and entertaining. There’s so much space in the pantry, you rarely have to visit the store while you’re traveling. As far as driving and towing, it’s a very easy travel to tow. We use our Ford F150. None of my female friends will drive their trailer leaving their husbands to have to do all the driving. I not only drive, but can back up and park this trailer. The only complaint I have is the “support”. Happy Daze RV will keep your RV for half the year before they finally get around to addressing the issue. I hear that most of the dealerships are the same—very frustrating. Otherwise, the 295RL is super user friendly and a very well made, reliable trailer. Show less

This trailer has helped me fulfill many dreams. We were the second owners for this trailer and were lucky to find a shorter trailer. We enjoy camping in state and national parks which cannot accommodate the larger trailers (35' +). We made a trip to Yellowstone, two trips to New England, one along the Gulf Coast, and many long weekends in Texas. The trailer pulls like a dream, and we would not be selling if it were not for health issues. I would love for someone to take this trailer and experience all the wonders I have. Show less

Having owned and used my Grand Design Reflection for 6 months, I now have a better understanding of the positive and negative aspects of the equipment. For me the positives are as follows: 1. solar panel and 12V residential refrigerator. 2. Waste water output pipe 20" from ground. 3. Cabinets and pantry storage space. 4. Tankless hot water heater. 5. Fireplace colors and heat effectiveness. 6. Lots of power outlets. 7. Electric kitchen ceiling fan with wall controls. Vents to outside. Negatives that we have experienced are as follows: 1. Bathroom ceiling fan opens manually and fan switch located on ceiling fan. For shorter people this design does not work well without some form of stepping stool. Poor design! 2. Refrigerator door frequently comes open during travel. 3. Fifth wheel shakes when anyone is walking around inside. 4. Reclining chairs are not secure and move during travel. Show less

This was the perfect unit for our family. With the door on the bunk room, it acts like a full second bedroom with storage and a lot of space. The amount of kitchen storage and counter space really make this a great unit for long term trips or even RV Living! The large fridge is awesome! Dual gray tanks make it easy to last a week between dumps. Lots of outside storage and lighting. All around it was exactly what we wanted! Show less
