    Purchased a Reflection 260RD on the weekend.

    I went to look at fifth wheels with a family member on the weekend. That was my first mistake. I looked at a 2023 Reflection 260RD and my wife and I fell in love with the new interior and the huge fridge. It looks so much brighter now. I was never a fan of the Schwintek slide especially with a heavy slide like this model. In the past I would never purchase this model for that reason. I was pleased to see that it's been changed to rack and pinion. I see they have also upgraded the solar panel.
    It has been built and is in transit to my dealer. I plan to pick it up in a couple of weeks.

    Congratulations. Hope you enjoy it as much as we have ours.

    Yes. They purchased the same model. We thought we would just have a look and didn't intend to purchase at this time. They offered us a good trade value and a healthy discount. As they say the rest is history.
    We're actually very excited about the purchase. Hopefully it's as reliable as our last Reflection.

    Do they still use the roller shades? Our largest one just failed so I'm thinking they are not that reliable. Otherwise, the expect the usual teething problems with any new trailer and slow warranty fixes...we had a few.

    Yes they still use roller shades. Hopefully teething issues will be minimal. I only had a couple minor issues with my Reflection 230.
    My 230 didn’t have solar, tankless hot water, auto leveling, Compass Connect or a 12 volt fridge. I will have a bit of a learning curve. I’ve read of a few issues with winterizing the hot water tank.
