01 What makes it unique

The Reflection 100 Series 28RL is the rear-living couples’ coach that anchors the accessible end of the Reflection line. Dual slides open the back into a combined living and kitchen area with a kitchen island and seating, and a private front bedroom sits in the raised nose — the fifth-wheel layout at a half-ton-friendly weight and the lowest entry price in the family. The Reflection residential build is present: gel-coat fiberglass sidewalls over laminated aluminum framing and a one-piece TPO roof.

It rides on a tandem axle with Goodyear Endurance tires and MORryde rubberized suspension, with a 10,995-pound GVWR on an 8,400-pound dry weight — leaving a strong 2,595 pounds of payload — and a 1,348-pound dry pin weight that a properly equipped half-ton can carry. A 55-gallon fresh tank and a 10 cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator support couples’ trips.

It sleeps four in a couples-first layout, at an MSRP near $68,600 — the most accessible rear-living fifth wheel Grand Design builds under the Reflection name. For buyers who want a real Reflection fifth wheel, a half-ton-friendly pin and genuine cargo capacity at the lowest price in the line, the dual-slide 28RL is the 100 Series best-seller.

03 The Reflection floorplan family

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 28RL 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.

The Reflection 100 Series is the accessible short-bed fifth-wheel entry to the Reflection line, pairing the residential build with the lowest pin weights and prices in the range. Pin weights are factory dry figures and climb with cargo — verify your truck's payload and rear-axle rating before towing. Additional 100 Series floorplans are catalogued on the line hub.
