Question on slides on Reflection 28RL

[dbest1va]

We recently purchased 2025 Reflection 28RL and noticed that when the slides on either side are retracted that there is a roughly 1/2 inch space between the body of the FW and the slide frame. On my Class A the slide retracted to where it is flush with the body of the vehicle. Is this type of space normal or should I address thias issue to the dealer where I bought it?

It is normal

Look in that space, as long as the slide is compressing the rubber, you're good. Mine is spaced like that also.

Interesting, we have a 2024 28RL that we are actually camping in right now so when I read this I checked ours. On the dinette (driver) side there is that small gap but the slide itself is flush against the wall. However, on the kitchen (passenger) side, although the walls are flush, I can see light at the bottom corner at the rear next to the floor. When I checked into it, there is what looks like a designed penetration from the inside to the outside so that means the compartment is not 100% sealed. My wife wants to get a Starlink system and I was worried about how to get the cable inside. I guess this hole is for things like that. I'm probably going to get some kind of rubber plug to stuff in there when we don't use it so it's sealed when not used.

Thanks for the reply. It helps. Regarding your Starlink plans I plan to just leave my router in the cargo bay since we have a cable port for the cord and a plug to get the power. I have used my starlink in this way for over a year and have had no problems. The signal is strong and will be able to be received in the FW. I had the router in a garage and the cord under the garage door to the starlink dish and it received perfectly. No reason to go through a hole in your 28 RL.

I want to add that the star link info was based on the previous starlink model with a actuator. Starlink is currently selling the mini which I understand has the router built-in with the dish itself . Check it out but it should provide you with the wireless connection the same way. All it should
need is the power plug.
