We considered the 260RD when we purchased our 230. I’m not a fan of Schwintek slides. I’ve had trailers with Schwintek slides and haven’t had issues but they were small light weight slides. I would prefer a rack and pinion slide especially when the slide contains a 4 door fridge and pantry.
I know others may be comfortable with Schwintek slides but I just don’t feel confident that they are reliable. I spoke to a RV tech a couple of years ago about Schwintek slides. He said he hated working on them and wished manufacturers would limit their use.2023 Reflection 150 Series 260RD

I am having the same wall bowing issue with my 2021 RD260. Have been in constant contact with GD but today this was their email to me. I think this is unsatisfactory. This is straight from their email today.
This is not a defect or a failure, we have vetted this out with a few other units over the past year or two when brought to attention. This is a 150 Series Reflection with the 1” wall. This will bow in the extended position up to 1 ½” based off our investigations due to the weight of the slide room. This is a non-issue and not a defect or failure but rather just a bow in the wall due to associated components.

Sorry I find this funny. This goes right along with a response from SOB camper to a customer about a design issue, they said that campers are designed for a 7 year life span and his problem is not a design problem. Yours is what they are talking about it will last 7 years of average use bowing in and out then totally fail. They know it will last at least till the warranty is up then it`s your problem. I think you can see the humor in there statement now.
Sorry for your troubles I had to deal with the frame flex issue after going round and round with them I ended up fixing it myself.

I am going through the same issue with my 260rd. Is there any way I could get what you have about your repair including the side wall plans they sent you? Also I can't get the YouTube links to work so if you still have those videos it would be great.

Thank you so much. Looks like a great option for all of us going thru this engineering flaw of GD. It really is to bad they are down playing this issue. Again thank you
