We looked at the 303RLS Grand Design Reflection any one have any other makes or models your recommend ? We want a quality 5th wheel that will last us at least 10 years .

We have a F350 SRW so it’s not a weight thing it’s nice to be able to enter most all parks and campgrounds. lhenry8113 • View posts Cypress or Lake Arrowhead, Ca.

Northwood is well known for making quality campers-they are a true 4 seasons R.V.-Northwood makes their own trailer as well as the camper. We put about 45,000 miles on ours-went from So. Ca. to Yukon Terr. and to Fl. and many places in-between. If I was in the market again-that would be the way I would go. https://northwoodmfg.com/arctic-fox-2/arctic-fox-27-5l/ 2017 Chev/CLass C Forest River Forester 2251 SLE Mustang Hollow Campground, Mathis, TX.

Mine is older and not the wide body of today. Also, mine is a bit shorter, I believe ... at 28'. But don't let that fool you. As short as it is, it still has a GVWR > 12K lbs. 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500HD Duramax 4x4 Crew Cab Standard box 2011 Arctic Fox 27.5L ksbowman • View posts Kansas Senior Member Joined: 08/22/2012 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/16/20 04:47pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I've never had a problem in state and federal parks getting into spots with our GD 303rls.

Add 1'6" to 2' to a model number to get a true LOA exterior. JMO but new is not necessarily better unless you have 'new' money & are prepared for all the possible new unit glitches. There is nothing wrong with well taken care of used quality. Be patient. Do your research for a few strong model possibilities & don't be swayed by a model that really is not what is wanted but is 'such a good deal'. We started the hunt trying to stay at or under 32'. Bought a 34 model number, 35'10" pin to bumper, & have had relatively few problems for sites in SPs. 14 years later a model has not been seen that we like better. No itch.

GD has some similar floor plans or look for a used one.
