Hello folks.
I have a 2019 reflection 295rl
first the black tank valve cable seized in 2021, then a tire shredded for no apparent reason in 2023, not a lot of mileage on this unit, as well the check valve on the hot water tank got stuck closed, 2 of the straps for the propane tanks broke/fell apart . then in 2024 another shredded, going 50k through cayuga, no road debris found. bought 4 new tires, heavy duty 12 ply.
then last fall the bracket holding up the fresh water tank, the 2#10 screws broke and the tank was coming through the belly pan. no we do not travel with the tanks full, we fill when we get to the destination and dump out remainder, when we leave.
in repairing the tank issue and being under the unit, i noticed the springs were starting to take on a W shape, so i had the entire suspension system replaced with a heavier set of springs and components, now it sits like it should. now a piece of trim fell off of one of the slides, this is not impressing me at all, grand design needs to get their $hit together if they are looking to sell me another unit when we decide to upgrade, the sad thing is we love the layout, the storage, the size, and the style, but the excessive repairs on a unit under 10 years old and low milage, hwy towed, not abused, is a little discouraging, I had less repairs on my previous rvs that were of similar age.
