  • Tank Heaters in Reflection 150 series?

    Hi all, new member here. Just placed an order for a new 2020 Reflection 150 series 295RL. I seem to recall hearing that on this model that Grand Design was adding actual tank heaters not just using the furnace heat. Am I dreaming or is this true? BTW, dealer confirmed that my trailer will come with Goodyear tires!

    I can't find it anywhere other than on the parts list for the 2020 295RL. (There's a link to the part website in the menu bar.) That does not guarantee it will be on your trailer. If this is an important purchase consideration I'd double-check with your dealer.

      Yes, all 150 series manufactured after 6/6/19 have tank heaters on them.

      Goodyear tires just started in mid November.

        According to our brochures, all Reflections are now being built with the Arctic 4-Seasons Protection Package, which includes a 12V heat pad for the holding tanks.

              Is it listed somewhere on the Grand Design website for the Reflection models? I looked under every tab and couldn't find a single reference to the heater pads. Maybe I missed it?

                howson here's the link and attachment of the latest Reflection brochure:

                https://www.granddesignrv.com/shopping-tools/brochures

                This info is under the "Arctic 4-Seasons Protection Package" portion on pages 7, 9, & 11.

                I didn't want to add a screen shot of the package because that package varies depending on the unit (travel trailer vs 150 series 5th wheel vs 5th wheels).

                  Got it! I found it on the we**ite--the verbiage is a little different but it's there. https://www.granddesignrv.com/showro...n/construction

                  Not that my .02 matters, but I like the way the brochure shows this feature more than the we**ite. (I hope I'm not stepping on too many toes!)

                        Can you find out how these are installed and wired in(switch locations and power draw) and if older units could be retrofitted some way like GD offering a kit through their parts.

                          There are plenty of aftermarket options to add tank heaters.

                          Call your local dealer or Google search "rv tank heaters". Lots of options.

                            We have a 2020 Reflections 295RL and I haven’t seen anything for heated pads on the holding tanks?

                              Depends on when it was built. Is it the white exterior or the tan exterior?
