2026 Grand Design Reflection 150 Series295RL

The Reflection 150 Series 295RL is the rear-living coach of the lightweight 150 line — dual opposing slides open the back into a combined living and kitchen area with theater seating, and a private front bedroom sits in the raised nose. It delivers a genuinely spacious couples’ fifth-wheel experience while keeping the 150 Series towability advantages: a 90-degree turning pin box, CURT Touring Coil suspension and anti-lock brakes with sway control. The Reflection residential build is present: gel-coat fiberglass sidewalls, laminated aluminum framing and a one-piece TPO roof.

It rides on a tandem axle with E-rated tires, with a 10,995-pound GVWR on a 9,045-pound dry weight — leaving 1,950 pounds of payload — and a 1,460-pound dry pin weight within reach of a properly equipped half-ton. A standard 180-watt solar package and 12-volt refrigerator make it camp-ready off hookups, with a 55-gallon fresh tank.

It sleeps four but is really a couples’ coach with room for guests, at an MSRP near $83,800. For buyers who want open rear living in a lightweight, short-bed-friendly Reflection fifth wheel with standard solar, the dual-slide 295RL is the comfort pick of the 150 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 295RL 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 24% of the 1,950-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 295RL with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry pin weight of 1,460 pounds is 16% of this floorplan’s 9,045-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 10,995-pound GVWR the 295RL is towing 1,950 pounds more than its 9,045-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 295RL sits 8 of 23 in the Reflection line: 10,995 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 28RL matches it exactly at 10,995 lb GVWR; and Reflection 298BH matches it exactly at 10,995 lb GVWR.

4 other Reflection plans share this floorplan’s 10,995 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 295RL: the Eagle 27RS sleeps 2 more; the Cougar 26RKE is 5 lb heavier and 2 ft shorter and sleeps 2 more; the Avenue 28BH is 500 lb lighter and sleeps 2 more. 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 295RL. 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.
