2026 Grand Design Reflection 100 Series24RL

The Reflection 100 Series 24RL is the rear-living couples’ coach of the accessible 100 line — a single slide opens an open back living and kitchen area with theater seating, and a private front bedroom sits in the raised nose. It is built for couples who spend their evenings in the coach and want an open living room at the entry end of the line. The Reflection residential build is present: gel-coat fiberglass sidewalls over laminated aluminum framing and a one-piece TPO roof, and it is unusually fitted with standard dual air conditioning for the size.

It rides on a tandem axle with Goodyear Endurance tires and MORryde rubberized suspension, with a 9,995-pound GVWR on a 7,664-pound dry weight — leaving 2,331 pounds of payload — and a 950-pound dry pin weight, the lightest pin in the entire Reflection line, that nearly any half-ton can carry. It is fitted with 28,500 BTU of dual air conditioning and a 10 cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, with a 55-gallon fresh tank.

It sleeps four in a couples-first layout, at an MSRP near $63,300. For buyers who want an open rear-living fifth wheel, the lightest pin in the line and dual-A/C comfort at a low entry price, the single-slide 24RL is the easiest-towing rear-living coach in the 100 Series.

Grand Design's Reflection is the brand's premium-mainstream towable family, and it spans four sub-lines across both tow types. The full-size Reflection fifth wheel is the heart of the range — a residential half-ton-to-three-quarter-ton coach with a 16 cubic-foot refrigerator and laminated aluminum construction. The Reflection travel trailer (the "...TS" plans) brings that same finish to a genuine bumper-pull, for buyers who want Reflection quality without an in-bed hitch. The Reflection 150 Series is the lightest fifth wheel — CURT Touring Coil suspension, standard solar and a 90-degree turning pin box for short-bed half-tons — and the Reflection 100 Series is the accessible short-bed fifth-wheel entry. The 24RL on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page. The full Reflection catalogue runs to dozens of floorplans across all four; the highest-demand layouts are detailed here and the rest are catalogued on the line hub.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 55-gallon fresh tank is roughly 20% of the 2,331-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 24RL with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry pin weight of 950 pounds is 12% of this floorplan’s 7,664-pound dry weight. Fifth-wheel pin weight rides in the bed of the truck, so it comes off payload rather than off tow rating — and it rises with the trailer as you load it, not in proportion to what you put over the axles.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 9,995-pound GVWR the 24RL is towing 2,331 pounds more than its 7,664-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 55 gallons of fresh against 78 grey and 39 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Ranked by GVWR, the 24RL sits 2 of 23 in the Reflection line: 9,995 pounds against a line that runs from 9,995 to 14,995 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.

Either side of it in the same line: Reflection 22RK matches it exactly at 9,995 lb GVWR; and Reflection 250ML matches it exactly at 9,995 lb GVWR.

4 other Reflection plans share this floorplan’s 9,995 lb GVWR, so the ranking above separates plans that tow to the same ceiling. On a shared chassis the figure that actually differs between them is cargo capacity and where the weight sits, not the rating.

Against the 24RL: the Eagle 26REC sleeps 2 fewer; the Blackthorn 229RK is 50 lb lighter and 2 ft shorter. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.

Those are the nearest fifth wheels from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.

For scale, the Reflection floorplans profiled here run 7,000 to 12,900 pounds dry and 27 to 41 feet of exterior length across 23 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Reflection line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 16 of them for the 24RL. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: interior height, awning, tire size (a tire description is published, a size is not). If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (100%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
