Welcome to the forum Ed, glad to have you aboard. This forum is a great place to learn from fellow GD owners.
Could you say a bit more about what you're planning with the genny? I also have a 150 series Reflection and I'm not sure if the Predator 3500 would fit well. You might be able to just squeeze it in, but at 102 pounds I wouldn't want to be lifting that genny in and out too often. Were you thinking you could run it in there? I don't see how you could get adequate ventilation for that. My 260RD comes with a receiver hitch in the back. Could you mount a cargo carrier there to carry the genny? That would also take the weight of the front of the trailer.Stephen and Judy

Steph Thanks for educate me, I do not plan to run it in there, I just wonder if I can put a MORryde slide out tray and fit him there. I have seen others reflection doing that (the 367 model). I have already the genny, so doesn't make sense to buy another one.

MorRyde makes a few different small sides for generators in different sizes. Here is one example. I have two friends that put a Champion 3500 watt generator on a slide in their front compartment. But they made it themselves.
Maybe someone here will chime in if they put a slide in the front bay. Other than that, it is just a matter of measuring to see what fits (or doesn't fit).Larry KE4DMG

I’ve seen a picture of that exact Morryde sliding tray with a small portable generator on it, in the front bay of a Reflection 5th wheel. I think it’s a small Yamaha inverter type, the limiting factor becomes the height of the compartment door. No way I would run it in there, even with the door full open. But for storage and transportation, no problem. Just got to have a plan to get it out and back in.
I still like the option of putting it (a generator) on a rear hitch mounted rack. There’s a good thread about that on this forum. It works very well when the power cord comes from the rear of the trailer. And the rack and generator can be secured to the trailer and covered in a enclosed box that looks pretty generic.
