New 2021 Grand Design Reflection 31MB- Factory ordered

[tbouvia]

Hello Everyone-

Submitted our order for a GD Reflection 31MB back in February. They said 8-10 week delivery timeframe, which puts me into late Apr for delivery. Does anyone have experience with ordering from factory, or know if those timelines are accurate? Trading in our 2015 Thor ACE 30.1, as we have my granddaughter now, and my children who suddenly want to camp with us again (when they swore they never would again in high school...lol). Pretty experienced at camping, but new to this manufacturer and design, but can't wait to receive the coach and our first camping trip during memorial day weekend. Also had to order a new truck to tow it with, I went with a Dodge RAM 2500, and will be putting a sliding 5th wheel hitch in the bed. I'm sure I'll be coming back here for questions, glad I found the forum!

Welcome to the forum.

For the slider I went with the pull rite SuperSlide. Its completely automatic. There are a couple of other automatics out there like the Demco.

Welcome to the family and the forum! Your dealer can contact Grand Design and see if it has a VIN assigned yet and if so they can project the finish date. Then you have to allow for delivery time. I remember being told that ordered units usually get shipped before dealer stock units.

We just put down a deposit on our new 31MB which we re told will technically be a 2022 model and should be available late May or early June.

I have two questions....does anyone have any insight on the 2022 and what might be different over the 2021?

Can you open the refrigerator with the slides in?

Thanks and Take Care,

Can't help you with the refrigerator, but there will probably very little or no difference between a 21/22. RV's aren't like cars, they make changes on a rolling basis when they run out of the current item they'll start with the new one. Most major changes happen towards the fall.

tbouvia Funkenstein Well congrats to both of you on your new orders! I just went through this last fall with a Solitude. It took 3 months and one week from order to completion. Because we are in California, and at that time there was a shortage of transport drivers, it took another month to get it out here. Probably would have taken longer than that if I hadn't stood on the finance managers foot so hard, lol. There are still component supply chain shortages however, which may affect timing. I will say that this is the fourth manufacturer we have ordered from, and the only one that even came close with a promise date. I think Funkenstein's timing sounds about right.

Congratulations on the trailer!

Unless they have made a drastic change to the 2021/2022 you can't open the fridge. You really have zero access to the living area but you have full access to the sleeping and bathroom. Even in the bunk room my kids have still accessed their beds with the slide out in.
