R Values
Some Reflection Fivers since product inception in 2013 have had wall R values rated at a 9 and some 11. What are the construction differences to account for this ?
In an interesting twist, in reviewing the GDRV website yesterday, all Reflection fivers are now listed as a 9 for walls in the specifications section........no more 11 ratings.......wonder what changed ?

If Dan doesn't have an objection could we move this post to the tech area that is monitored by Grand Design and maybe get an answer? I's like to know if something changed in construction or in the manner of rating.

Ralph--probably a good idea in order that we can hear from GDRV and get the official feedback.

Now in the Tech Section. I recall that it was the bed slide models that listed wall R valves at 11, R value of 9 for all others.

Dave--thank you for moving thread. Yes, you are correct about the bed vs wardrobe slides and the 11 vs 9 ratings respectively. The two key questions are what was/were the difference(s) in construction to have different ratings and why now are they ALL R9 ratings ?

Just talked with Tony Lizzi (nice helpful guy and another hire from Keystone - imagine that !) at GDRV corporate and he shared that the difference in the Reflection fiver R values between BR slide vs WR slide models is an extra layer of luan on the side walls. I see the website has now been updated to reflect R11 vs R9 for the BR vs WR slide floor plans respectively.
