We are glad we made the switch,too. We had nothing but trouble with our other 5th and the most frustrating part was there was zero support, and it doesn't have to be that way. Interested in knowing where you traveled. We just returned from a seven week trip, right before we bought our new 5th.
We purchased a GD Reflection 337RLS in March. We left on our latest journey seven weeks ago. We've put on 6000 miles so far, and the rig is doing pretty good. We had a premature refrigerator failure, but the Atwood tech came to our campground and got us running again.
We have also been having a problem with the awning coming loose, but a call to GD's customer service folks indicates they have a permanent solution for this, and they are sending the parts to a location ahead of us so we can get a quick fix.
The only other concern is the quality of the mattress they put in it. After about 50 nights, it started to compress and appears worn out. We even had two matress toppers on it. We're not "big" people, so this is a little concerning.
Other than the issues mentioned above, we are thrilled with the FW. The factory tires are holding up well, but we monitor them with a tire pressure monitor.
All in all, I'm much happier with this FW than I was my Keystone Cougar, and I'm glad we made the switch.
