New Reflection Owner

[Glazier]

Just finished making a deal and deposit on a new 337 RLS. It should be here around the 2nd week in December, I am looking forward to seeing it. I made my decision from a walk through of a Reflection, and a Solitude. Grand Design makes some nice looking fifth wheels, did I mention the Momentum? Very excited about this new coach, I come from Jayco's so hopefully this new brand will not disappoint. Glad to find this forum as well.

Congratulations on your new Reflection and welcome to the forum. I have a Solitude 369RL, bought it in February of this year and have traveled over 5000 miles already. I love it and am looking forward to many more trips. I have asked the manufacturer questions on the forum and they have replied very quickly and were very helpful with answering questions I had about my RV. I think they are a great company and I am sure you will be happy with your new purchase. I truly love my Solitude and hope to live in it full time in the very near future.

I look forward to this RV manufactor growing, and this forum growing as well. Thanks for the kind comments, and warm welcome.

We are also new Reflection owners. Will take possession of our 337 mid January. I would like to know about factory tires. I have heard bad stories about premature failures. I was told that 5th wheel tires can be replaced with light truck tires. Is this good information?

I bought my Solitude last February and have traveled about 6000 miles with it with the original factory tires. I just make sure I keep them inflated to the proper pressure at all times and keep them covered with tire guards to protect from the sun. So far they have been fine.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the 337!

You could consider purchasing a quality tire pressure monitoring system such as TST 507. It will give you some peace of mind with the OEM tires. I wouldn't tow without a system regardless of what tires are on it.

Thank you for the warm welcome and the suggestion for the TST507. Look forward to joining the Grand Design family.

I actually did replace the tires on mine already. I know nothing about the quality of a Westlake tire (OEM on my trailer), but I have been a Michelin tire user for years. With that being said, I have no stories to tell as to why I changed my tires, I have always changed my tires to something of known quality (Michelin is my choice always). I installed XPS Ribs as shown in my signature, their are several choices in 16" LT Radial tires that will work well with 6K axles.

K and J...as your username would imply, you're from Alabama? Have you camped in the state parks in northern Alabama...particularly interested in DeSoto SP. I'd appreciate any info you could pass along.
