Duh-metic Refer

Okay I'm venting. Our new Flagstaff is great, however what happened to Dometic. I've had 4 Dometic refers and have been very happy with them.
The new one is very noisy. I know about the mods, but why should you have to?
A blue interior light? I guess it could have been a disco ball or a Christmas tree light wheel.
We just found out it will not hold a gallon container of drinking water.
On the plus side it does look good with the wood panels, which are not Dometic.

Just noticed on our new 5er that this Dometic is noisy too. Our other rv's were never this noisy. What are these mods of which you speak?

There several posts about people changing type and number of fans. Go to the Fifth Wheel and Trailer - Flagstaff - New 8528IKWS Thread there are some specific suggestions.
