Grand Design Reflection reviews

We’ve owned our 2019 Grand Design Reflection 287RLTS for several seasons now, and it continues to impress us with its thoughtful design, residential comfort, and reliable build quality. This travel trailer strikes a perfect balance between livability and towability, making it an ideal choice for extended weekends or even full-time use. Pros: Spacious Rear Living Area: The panoramic rear windows flood the living space with natural light, and the theater seating is incredibly comfortable for relaxing after a day of adventure. The U-shaped dinette offers plenty of room for meals and easily converts into a bed when needed. High-End Kitchen: We love the solid-surface countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and deep sink. The 12 cu-ft fridge (ours was upgraded in 2023) keeps everything cold, and there’s no shortage of storage. Four-Season Capable: With its heated and enclosed underbelly, high-BTU furnace, and ducted A/C, the trailer stays comfortable in both hot and cold weather. It’s well-insulated and holds up well in unpredictable climates. Build Quality: The laminated walls and aluminum framing provide a sturdy feel, and everything still works smoothly after years of light use. Towability: At under 9,000 lbs dry weight and around 33 feet in length, it’s manageable for most ¾-ton trucks. The hitch setup and weight distribution are simple and stable. Minor Cons: Bathroom Size: While functional, the bathroom is a bit tight—especially the shower for taller folks. Limited Exterior Storage: Pass-through storage is adequate but could be more generous for longer trips. Overall, this is one of the best non-bunkhouse travel trailers in its class. The 287RLTS delivers residential-style comfort in a package that’s easy to tow and live in. It’s been a joy to own, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a premium rear-living floorplan. Show less

We purchased the unit new in April of 2023 and use it about every other weekend during the summer. After the first couple of trips the door would no longer close and stay latched. If you bump into the valance surrounding the shades, they fall off. On our first long trip the main shade came completely off the wall. It was held on by only two screws that weren't screwed into anything solid. First time we wanted to put the table down for the grand kids to sleep on we found out it is off center by 3/4-inch, one side sits up on the bench. Sliding door to the bedroom kept breaking the plastic support on the floor. After several fixes I figured out the door was not or barely attached to the ceiling, again screws not put into anything solid like a stud. On a hot day you might as well get a motel room as the sewer smell will drive you out. Pulled the vent cap and found the plastic vapor barrier was installed right over the vent hole. Entertainment system has a DVD player which is good for the kids only trouble is, is that it is not a blueray player so I had to buy one of those, I was told that if we want to use the radio, we will need to buy an antenae to get any signal. Open a window, good luck getting it closed all the way. Solar cell, what a joke, we were told we could run the fridge in reduced power mode and all would be good, Nice if you want to park it without power between camping weekends. Just like everything else with this Turd, the Grand Design is Grand Failure. I can't even, in good conscience sell it or trade it in without being honest about the issues. Cheap Chinese junk no quality control. Show less

The floor plan is great. Plenty of room and layed out well. All appliances have worked very well. We really love the refrigerator 12 v and large. The unit tows well and is very easy to hook up with the auto hitch to original function. Excellent warranty and great service when needed Show less

Excellent floorplan - especially for the size. Easy to tow. This towable trailer has the best floorplan - using the space well and with lots of storage. We have enjoyed our trailer. The bathroom is full size with 2 doors so you can close it off from the bedroom as well as the main living space. The kitchen spans the width of the trailer and is huge. Show less

We have owned 2 Grand Design RV's. They are wonderful trailers. We have loved all the storage that is included inside the trailer as well as outside the trailer. The bathroom is roomy enough to not feel cramped. The floorplan allows access to almost everything, except the bunks, when the slide is closed. Show less

Great floor plan! Walk around Queen bed with lots of storage. Love the living and kitchen areas! Solar fridge is a game changer for keeping food cold! Outside kitchen and storage is helpful. Has great 3rd closet with optional washer dryer hookup. Show less

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
