    A Step Backward in the Graphics?

    I'm not sure there is any other way to say this but I just checked out the GD website and saw the new graphics package for the Reflections and Reflection 150 Series and I wish I could UNSEE them. I don't know how to express my feelings about this change other than I'm glad I have a 2018! Sorry GD but in my opinion I think you completely missed the mark. What do others think?

    As a side note, I'm also not liking the new 28BH layout. The rear storage compartment is gone. I love that feature so much. My kids love that they each have the same size bed with lots of extra space. There's now only a TV hookup and not a compartment with a TV. It grew by 10" which could be good and bad. Good for extra room but bad if you're trying to keep length down for let's say smaller state campgrounds. It seems as though they took the 290BH from the 150 series and made it into the 28BH. Again, I'm happy I got the 2018 layout. But I'm sure for each that likes the old there's someone who likes the new.

    The graphics looks like a compromise between the brown/tan swoops in the 2017ish rigs and the black nosed 2018/19 rigs. I don't like the dark nose in any form. Not crazy about the brown/tan swoops, but I like them better than the black/white ones recently used.

    I think they look fine - but I'm personally not a fan of ANY dark colors on RVs for sun and heat reasons.

    I guess I'm ambivalent about the graphics. I made a few specific suggestions to GD, but all of which have focused on making a shorter BH fifth-wheel, not longer. Regardless, I expect it will sell well. Come on GD, let's see a BH version of the 230RL (bunks instead of theatre seating)

    I'm not a fan of the block looking lettering. It'll look like any other RV as it approaches coming down the road.
    It was always easy to spot an oncoming Reflection but with that font it's going to look like any other make. Aside
    from that it's boring to look at.

    Maybe an effort to make the nose decals last longer.

    I'm with you Rob...
    I have a '17 and I actually think this color combo is/was the nicest.

    The white nose is easier to keep clean than the dark one for sure.
    When you travel extensively, (and run into bug season), you will regret having a black front cap. !!!
    Those bug stains EAT right through the decals and the paint if not washed off ASAP AND.... most CG's won't let you wash off the nose. So after a buggy pull and the splats.... its a bucket job and that's fun !!!

    Also don’t like black, or dark colors on the front. Really like my ‘17 cap.

    I saw the new graphics a few days ago and immediately thought that it makes the reflection line look more like an entry level unit.

    I thought Reflections were GDRV’s entry level 5er, do I have that wrong?
