2026 Grand Design Reflection303RLS

The Reflection 303RLS is the floorplan that built the line’s reputation — a rear-living fifth wheel with three slides, a rear tri-fold sofa and theater seating facing an entertainment center and fireplace, a kitchen island, and a private front bedroom up in the raised nose. It is a genuinely spacious couples’ coach that many owners tow with a three-quarter-ton or a well-equipped half-ton. The Reflection build is residential: gel-coat fiberglass sidewalls over laminated aluminum framing, a one-piece TPO roof and a 16 cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator.

It rides on a tandem axle with MORryde rubberized suspension and Goodyear Endurance tires, with an 11,995-pound GVWR on a 10,100-pound dry weight — leaving 1,895 pounds of payload — and a 1,980-pound dry pin weight. A large 74-gallon fresh tank, an 87-gallon gray and a 16 cubic-foot refrigerator support extended and full-time stays, and the coach is wired and framed for a second air conditioner.

It sleeps four in a couples-first layout, at an MSRP near $87,000 — the accessible entry to the full-size Reflection fifth wheels. For buyers stepping up from a travel trailer to a fifth wheel who want residential rear living without a heavy-duty dually, the tri-slide 303RLS fits that brief.

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 303RLS 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.

A full 74-gallon fresh tank is about 617 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 33% of the 303RLS’s 1,895 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,278 lb (319 lb per rated berth). Across 18 Reflection fifth-wheel floorplans the water share runs 15% to 33%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Reflection 367BHS at 29%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).

Closest sibling: the Reflection 337RLS, nearest on the published figures.
