    Anyone Purchase a 340RDS?

    We are looking to upgrade and the Reflection 340RDS is a floorplan that we are really interested in. Curious on peoples thoughts about it?

    Thats a brand new floor plan for 2021, so if anyone has it yet it won't be many. It is an interesting floor plan though, when I saw it I thought that is one I'd like to see. . It is so new GD doesn't even have pictures on their website yet.... on edit, they do have pics but not many and the gallery link doesn't work.

    We just picked up the 340RDS this weekend and are really liking this new floorplan. We had been looking for the past several months at upgrading from our 2018 Cougar HT 25RES and just happened to find one near us that had just came in. Build quality is a LOT nicer than our Cougar and it had all the features we were looking for. Looking forward to getting it out this weekend and getting it ready for fall camping.

    Glad you'r liking the 340, can you give us some real life numbers on the Cargo Capacity. We haven't gone to see it yet.

    That's not to bad, more than our 2,679 in the 303. Really do like the floorplan I would like to go sit in one for a while and see if it feels at home for us. The biggest strike against it we see is no night stands. But has pretty good kitchen/bath and bed access for when on the road
    The S class 3540 GK is also high up in the running

    Marcy - here is one with many pictures even the MSRP and Yellow sticker:

    Dan, thanks for the link. Had not gotten that far into looking yet . Looking at the pics posted by the dealer, as much as I do like the floor plan it lacks all the deep storage cabinet space we are used to in the 303. That has been the biggest drawback with many of the new floor plans for us. Also some of those pictures make the flow look a little on the cramped side.. so we are back to the 3450 topping the list of trailers to see

    We also were hesitant because it didn't have a nightstand, but determined the overall layout was worth the compromise. Ours has the king bed option so the little side shelves are not there, but after really evaluating what we had on our nightstand there wasn't anything that couldn't be relocated to the top of the dresser. There is still a small space on the floor between the bed and the wall for a cell phone, pistol, or other smaller items.

    We were originally looking at the S class 2930RL which has the night stands and bedroom configuration similar to our Cougar but I just didn't like the additional door in the bedroom to the bathroom and I'm not found of the bathroom sink being in the slide.

    I definitely agree that the cabinets in the back wall are way too shallow which has provided a challenge for locating my Wally receiver, Xbox One (for the kid), and BluRay player. The pantry is deep and most of the other kitchen cabinets are fairly deep as well. Since this one has twice the storage space as our other 5th wheel, the lack of depth in the back wall hasn't presented an issue for us other than our electronics. I'm sure I'll be able to come up with some solutions this weekend when we actually get to stay in it.

    As far as the flow, I'm not a small guy at 6' and 240 lbs and the layout doesn't feel cramped at all.
