As an ardent follower and commentator on all things related to recreational vehicles (RVs), I have been eagerly looking forward to exploring and subsequently reviewing the Reflection 150 Series Fifth Wheel 226RK 2022. Manufactured by the well-renowned Grand Design RV, this Fifth Wheel truly represents a paradigm shift in comfort, style, and functionality. Through this review, it is my intent to give you an overview of what you can expect from this dazzling addition to the Reflection 150 Series stable.
My first impression of the 226RK 2022 model is that it is truly a testament to Grand Design RV's years of experience in the industry and their dedication to bringing comfort, convenience, and innovation to their products. The extensive list of features on this vehicle is impressive, to say the least, kicking off with an aerodynamic front cap with a max turn radius and a marine-grade LED hitch light for improved nighttime visibility. The model boasts a battery kill switch in the pass-thru storage area and offers an impressive 90-degree turning point, making it an excellent and convenient choice for large families and long trips.
In terms of construction, the RV has been designed with prime focus on durability and comfort. With gel-coated exterior sidewalls, residential 5-inch truss rafters at 16-inch intervals, it is built to stand the test of time. The addition of walk-on roof decking, residential wood-framed roof (R-40*), and a fiberglass and radiant foil roof with front cap insulation, creates a solid, reliable structure that can withstand all kinds of weather conditions. Further, the one-piece TPO roof membrane comes with an 18-Year Warranty, providing peace of mind for the buyer.
The interior of the Reflection 150 Series Fifth Wheel 226RK 2022 is equally impressive. From the residential gunstock hardware to solid hardwood drawer fronts, and from the louvered tread steps to the bedroom to the large panoramic slide room windows with premium Congoleum flooring, every aspect screams luxury. Add to that the heated wall hugger theatre seats with LED lights and massage features, and you have the perfect set up for absolute comfort and relaxation.
Functionalities also extend to the kitchen and bathroom spaces. The kitchen is adorned with gunstock fixtures and hardware and features a deep-seated stainless steel sink. The bathroom features a 30 x 36 residential walk-in shower and a wide-view skylight, plus heat duct and A/C vents for added comfort.
With an overall length of 26' 11" and a height of 12', this Fifth Wheel boasts a fresh water capacity of 56 gallons along with grey and waste water capacities of 71 and 39 gallons, respectively. Further specifications include a standard bed dimension of 60" x 80", hitch weight of 1,190 lbs, and GVWR of 9,995 lbs, making it an exceptional choice for extended trips or living on the road.
All in all, the Reflection 150 Series Fifth Wheel 226RK 2022 offers an impressive array of features and amenities that allow for a luxurious and comfortable lifestyle for its inhabitants. The craftsmanship is excellent and the vehicle promises a sturdy, long-lasting recreational home on wheels.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
