If your 2018 Grand Design Reflection happened to have a Fastway breakaway kit installed on it yes the replacement plunger pin # FA80-01-2206 would be correct replacement but we have no way to verify that. I do have an easy solution that would for sure work though. Since all of the breakaway systems operate the same way they are universal so you could just replace the entire switch with the part # 3802348 and you'd be set.

Answer 9

I attached a help article that details how to test a breakaway system, but basically it sounds like your breakaway switch has gone bad or the pin of it has partially unplugged itself so your system is locking up the brakes. If you cut the wire…
