The Reflection 150 270BN Difference
Most fifth wheels are designed for “being there.” The 270BN was designed for getting there.
At just around 30 feet long, this couple’s fifth wheel from Grand Design blends travel-friendly engineering with residential comfort.
From its touring coil spring suspension and CURT Helux™ pin box to the Goodyear Endurance tires and 3,000-lb rear receiver, every part of this RV was built for mobility and confidence on the road.
Even with the slide closed, you can still access the kitchen, fridge, bathroom, and bedroom—making this model perfect for quick overnights at travel stops. Basically, 99% of your RV remains usable while you’re on the move.

Open, Airy Living Space
When you step inside the Reflection 150 270BN, you will immediately notice that it feels larger than its size. The open layout and light interior create an airy, uncluttered feel. Unlike many RVs that segment space with bulky walls or cabinets, the 270BN flows naturally from the living area into the kitchen.
This model is made for the couples who love to explore without needing a family-size rig. It’s cozy, comfortable, easy to tow, and ideal for people looking for weekend escapes or long-haul adventures.
The Breakfast Nook That Started It All
The “BN” stands for Breakfast Nook, and it’s the heart of this floor plan.
Instead of a large U-shaped dinette, Grand Design added a compact, adjustable table system that can telescope up, down, and side to side. It’s a genius use of space, perfect for meals, laptop work, or slow coffee mornings.
It doesn’t convert into a sleeper, but that’s intentional. The longer triple-recliner sofa across from it provides plenty of comfort for lounging or the occasional nap.
Blackout roller shades and a rain-sensing XL vent fan add small touches of luxury rarely found in this size fifth wheel.
A Functional, Well-Equipped Kitchen
The kitchen layout combines clever storage with plenty of counter space. Overhead cabinets include built-in shelving that doubles usable space, and the outlets are conveniently tucked under the cabinets for appliances or coffee makers.
The 10-cu-ft 12V compressor refrigerator pairs with Grand Design’s solar system, complete with a 180-watt panel and 60-amp charge controller, giving you off-grid flexibility. (Opt for the 16-cu-ft fridge, and you’ll get an upgraded 370-watt solar panel instead.)
An outdoor griddle and mini-fridge station extend the cooking area outdoors, giving you options for breakfast outside and tailgate nights.
Smart Bathroom Design
In true Reflection form, the bathroom mixes comfort and practicality.
There’s full headroom in the shower, no skylight required, thanks to Grand Design’s waterproof LED fixture, which eliminates one of the most common roof leak points in RVs. For reference, Josh the RV Nerd is over 6ft tall
Storage is surprisingly generous, with a dedicated cabinet behind the toilet. It’s close enough that tall travelers might notice it, but most appreciate the extra storage space.
Motion-activated night lighting and a large sink make it feel more like home than a tight squeezed “camper.”
Bedroom: Quiet, Cozy, and Comfortable
The bedroom features a true 60″x 80″ residential queen bed with built-in storage below and soft-close cabinetry above. Everything feels warm, clean and smooth!
The room is prepped for a second A/C, and even with the main slide closed, you can move through the space without restriction.
Road-Mode Ready
When you’re packed up and ready to roll, the Reflection 150 270BN keeps almost everything accessible. You can reach the fridge, kitchen, bath, and bed without touching a slide switch, something most fifth wheels don’t offer!
It’s perfect for solo travelers or couples who move frequently and don’t want to unpack every time they stop. This is what makes the 270BN so unique, it treats travel days with the same attention to comfort as camping days.
Exterior, Structure & Suspension
Outside, the Reflection 150 270BN rides on Grand Design’s exclusive Touring Coil Suspension system — featuring coil springs, shocks, and heavy-duty axles that smooth out bumps and dips. The Goodyear Endurance tires offer durability, traction, and peace of mind on long road days.
The fully enclosed and heated underbelly, combined with 12V tank heat pads, protects your plumbing and holding tanks even in colder climates, ideal for early spring and late-fall travelers.

Grand Design Reflection 150 270BN | FAQ
Can a half-ton tow the Reflection 150 270BN?
Some half-tons may lack payload for a fifth-wheel pin weight. Many shoppers choose a ¾-ton for margin.
Does the breakfast nook convert to a bed?
No. It’s a dedicated dining/desk space. Occasional guests can use the longer sofa for naps.
Can you reach the fridge and bathroom with the slide closed?
Yes—kitchen, fridge, bath, and bed remain accessible for travel stops.
What’s special about the Touring Coil Suspension?
Coil springs plus shocks smooth out bumps for more stable, confident towing than traditional leaf springs.
Is the 270BN washer/dryer prepped?
Yes, but installing a unit uses up the primary hanging wardrobe space.
The Grand Design Reflection 150 270BN isn’t trying to be the biggest fifth wheel on the road, it’s built to be the smartest travel companion for couples who want comfort without compromise.
Every inch of this coach serves a purpose, from the flexible breakfast nook and thoughtful kitchen layout to the touring coil suspension and smooth, quiet tow. It’s easy to maintain, comfortable on travel days, and cozy when you finally park it for the night.
Whether you’re heading cross-country or chasing weekend getaways, the 270BN proves that less length doesn’t mean less luxury.
