Few names in fifth wheel trailers carry as much prestige as Grand Design's Reflection line. In our dedicated Fireside Chat episode, hosts Jeff Muffoletto and Tom Gropp sit down with Ken Conlee, Product Manager for the Reflection Fifth Wheel product family, to explore what makes Reflection stand out in a crowded market.

Meet Ken Conlee: Passion, Family, and Reflection Pride

Ken Conlee didn’t just stumble into the RV industry—he grew up surrounded by it. Raised in Elkhart County, Indiana, the heart of RV country, Ken’s father worked on the production lines of EverGreen RV, a family business that provided stability and pride to their household.

After college, Ken found himself drawn back to his roots, starting his career on the sales side of the RV industry. From those early days, he worked his way up through roles that gave him insight into customer needs, product development, and the intricacies of building fifth wheels that families could depend on.

Today, Ken leads one of the largest and most beloved fifth-wheel brands in the industry, but his motivations remain deeply personal. As a husband to Hannah and a father to two young children—Collins (3 years old) and Porter (3 months)—Ken understands the value of creating spaces where families can truly connect and create memories together.

"When I think about Reflection owners, I don’t just see customers—I see families like mine. Families who deserve an RV that’s safe, reliable, and built to make every trip special," Ken shares.

Pride in every Reflection on the road

Ken’s passion shines brightest when he talks about seeing Reflection fifth wheels out in the wild.

"Every time I’m at a Grand Design rally, and they ask, ‘Who here owns a Reflection?’—it’s always the biggest group. That moment fills me with so much pride because I know every one of those owners trusted us to be part of their family adventures."

It’s this blend of personal connection, industry expertise, and heartfelt pride that sets Ken apart as a leader and makes the Reflection line more than just a product—it’s a promise.

Reflection 100 Series: Affordable Without Compromise

One of the most exciting additions to the Reflection lineup is the Reflection 100 Series.

"We wanted to create an option for customers who might feel priced out of the fifth-wheel market," Ken shares. "But we didn’t want to compromise on build quality or safety."

Key Features of the Reflection 100 Series:

✅ Weights starting at 7,000 pounds – towable by many trucks.
✅ MSRP starting around $50,000 – budget-friendly without cutting corners.
✅ Simplified ownership – less maintenance, more adventure.

Ken emphasizes that while the 100 Series is more accessible, it still carries the same Grand Design construction standards, safety features, and warranties as higher-tier models.

"It’s about pride of ownership. You’re not just buying a trailer; you’re buying into the Reflection family."

Reflection 150 Series: Built for Towability

For those who want fifth-wheel luxury without the need for a heavy-duty truck, the Reflection 150 Series bridges the gap.

"Not every fifth wheel needs a massive truck to tow it. The 150 Series gives half-ton truck owners a real option," Ken explains.

Key Highlights of the Reflection 150 Series:

✅ Lightweight construction optimized for half-ton trucks.
✅ Advanced suspension for smooth towing.
✅ Premium amenities in a smaller footprint.

Ken adds, "We don’t call every floor plan half-ton towable because not every truck can handle every setup—but the 150 Series is purpose-built to make towing easier."
