Reflection 370FLS
Well here we go, opinions etc. Please.
We are looking at changing from our 337 to possibly the 370.
A couple things: Anyone Familiar with:
The new 12 volt fridge? How well is it cooling? etc.
How bout the on demand water heater, you still need to run water while it gets hot water to the faucet?
All in all it looks like a great floor plan, just the few little things, like all units.
Your opions and comments are welcome.
thanks, JefffJeff & Karen

From what I've read, the 12V fridges work well, cool quickly, don't need an inverter like the residential ones, and seem to be pretty trouble-free.
I don't care for the idea of on-demand water heaters. We are hooked to shore power mostly and like the idea of using the RV park electricity to heat our water, rather than using our propane. Not really sure what the benefits are supposed to be. Just seems to be a solution in search of a problem. JMO of course.Howard and Peggy

I have never understood the change to tankless. Complete failure imo. Tank systems have worked great for decades plus with ac power not an option it is a negative value
As far as fridges…personally I think they need a lot of work.
They should have had the bugs figured out by now but I wouldn’t be interested
If my absorption fridge ever quits I will put in a residential one2021 Imagine 2400 BH

thanks and for me too, I like the trouble free process that i have had for over 20 years with a tank full of hot water. we still nomrally only turn it on if needed and utilize park electricity to heat water. Fridge is on the same thought process. In all the years, flushing a water heater and keeping the back of the fridge clean, never had an issue other than a couple adjustments and have never replaced one. UGH for that, I would buy the unity tomorrow if not for those issues, maybe i'll look at it again and figue out a way, if any to move fridge to outside wall, replace it and the same with the water heater.

Our tech tells us that they've gotten the compressor issues worked out of the 12VDC fridges now and they are good units. Since they are compressor fridges, they cool just like a residential fridge.
As full-timers, an on-demand HWH would be a no-go for us. They have freezing issue in the winter and don't run on electric.

I will have to check with GD and see if there is an option to change the water heater for sure and maybe the fridge as well to the regular ones. UGH I guess for now.

GD will not switch out the HWH at the factory. I've seen a couple of threads on the forums where people have paid their dealers to do it - or have done it themsleves. Why would you want to switch for an absorption refrigerator? There are people who boondock a lot and love them, but we hated ours when we had one.
