Looking at 303 or 317 Reflection

[jeffbobo]

Hello everyone, the wife and I are looking at upgrading to a Reflection 303 or 317 from a Winneabgo One 30RE travel trailer. We now have 2 grand babies and a third on the way plus a 100lbs black lab that thinks he's a cat and a lap dog....LOL. looking for more space and a great built product. We love our current trailer but things are changing and I haven't seen much out there that has the quality that the Grand Design shows.

Welcome to the forum Jeff, Sheila and Merlin! Each of those rigs are great floor plans and very comfortable. We've had our 337 for about a year now, and I'm very satisfied that we purchased from GD. Good luck on your decision.

Hi Jeff, Sheila and Merlin. Welcome to the group and you can't go wrong with whatever GD you choose!

Welcome Jeff, Sheila, & Merlin! We also have a 337RLS, and are very happy with it. 10 months and 11 trips so far. Judging by some posts on here, you need to investigate the dealer you are purchasing from too. Grand Design is doing a great job, unfortunately not all dealers are. Both floorplans your considering are very nice. Good luck with your decision!

Hi Jeff, Sheila & Merlin,

Scott and Jan are right on with their perspective. I agree completely.
We are "dog people" too and are really comfortable snow birding with our critters in our 303.
We chose the 303 because we can tow it comfortably with a smaller truck . . . which is also our daily driver.

Welcome Jeff & Sheila, my wife and I went thru the same thing. The 29RS, 303, 317 were the 3 that we kept going back and looking at for about 2 months. We're lucky that the dealer is just 10 miles from where we live. All of them are very nice and have different features that we liked, the decision was tough.Just recently we traded in or 25'TT and brought home a 303. It even meets the approval of our oldest grandson that will be 3 in July and calls it his camper, he's gone camping with us just about every time since he was a year old. We're hoping his younger cousin enjoys it as much as he does. Good luck on your decision they're both very nice units.

Hi and welcome! I'll echo everyone , either way you'll be happy. We have the 303 and 3 dogs , they are very happy in the trailer with room to play and run. The 317 would add to the fun if you want to go the extra couple feet.
We like state park camping so the 303 works better for us getting sites.

We went with a 323BHS so we could get a little separation for our 3 1/2 year old and 7 year old grandkids. They have their own bedroom with a big screen TV to watch cartoons on.

The Supersofa option is great when needing to seat more people in lieu of a dinette.

We went 323bhs also. I knew in our first visit to it in the driveway, while waiting for camping season here in Wisconsin , That i wish I woulve went for the super sofa vs the dinette. Our daughter was in one recliner and wife in the other. I got stuck sitting at the table. Still love it though.

One thing you may want to think about in considering 303 vs 317......

I believe they are still making the 303 with 15" wheels (vice 16" on the 317.)
Some folks have had trouble getting the 5W to tow level with their truck. Those were primarily RAM owners, I believe.

Good Morning, thanks for all the welcomes and info it is great how we all come together to help each other out. We finial got to go see the 303 in person yesterday, they were supposed to have a 317 also but one of their other stores had sold it so they came and picked it up before anyone got in. I was a little bummed but they are all selling like hot cakes. We liked the 303 but are still reserving judgement until we see a 317 in person. I have 2 dealers near me both between 1 and 2 hours away but the one has a no so good service reviews but great sales dept. We have seen the 323 but we like a lot of light in our unit so it was a little to dark for us also the seating is a little lacking like Aazahn stated cause we aren't fans of the super sofa, but it all comes down to what you like I guess. We are thinking the 317 is going to fit the bill right now but still need to see it and would be looking at adding the king bed the 12 cu. ft. referg. and the dual pane windows. again thanks for all the well wishes and info.

Welcome!! They are all great products!!! We settled on the 303 because of the size of our pickup.
