Just bought a new 5th wheel

[Lightning55]

After looking at a lot of new 5th Wheels, we just bought a new 2021 Grand Design Reflection 31MB. We pick it up next week, just in time to fill it up with stuff for our first trip on March 5th. It's a relatively small 5th wheel with a mid-bunkroom and rear living area, but big enough for us and the grandkids.
We're not new to RVing but it's always exciting to get a new RV.
Wish us luck!

That's the same camper we've been looking at. Our first grandbaby was born last fall and we're looking forward to take her (and her mom and dad) camping in the future. We also looked at the 311BHS but it doesn't have much seating in the living area.
How comfortable is the U-shaped dinette for general seating ? We were thinking that would be perfect for grandchildren craft projects on rainy days.

We are taking delivery of our 31MB in early April. I loved the layout but was exceptionally concerned about comfort of the dinette as there will be 4 of us and likely one or more in the dinette when stuck inside. We found it to be super comfortable (and huge) and put an order in right after that.

Congrats to the OP!

X2! We bought a new 5th wheel in October. We discussed with the dealer that we would do our "Shake Down Trip" over the weekend and be back on Monday to fix whatever we might find. Glad we did! When we arrived at the RV Park not 5 miles from the dealership I noticed the water heater had pulled loose at the bottom about an inch... There were some other things we had the dealer address as well. Sure was thankful we had an appointment on Monday!

Good luck with your new Rig! Enjoy that New Rig smell as it dissipates far too quickly!

The rear dinette and large bunkroom were just a couple of the features in the 31MB that we liked. The dinette seems like a very comfortable place to sit, the table is stable and is very easy and fast to drop down into a sleeper. No more wrestling with folding or removeable legs. It's a great place to eat from but also perfect for sitting there with a laptop or just gazing out of the rear windows. I think it's the perfect layout for our situation.

Good Luck.........literally.

First trip out is in March to a small lake south of here about 70 miles away. We'll be on full hook ups in a pull through spot so it should be an easy set up. It's hard to call this camping with a new trailer that's like a condo on wheels. Can't wait to try out the automatic self leveling system.
