New Dometic Fridge Opinions

[Shane826]

So the new TMs come with a Dometic 3-way fridge. I've heard it's pretty simple to light on propane, and I understand it uses 12V for the control panel on any setting. I'm wondering how folks like it compared to the Notcold? Does it get cold enough in hot weather? Does the 12V mode actually work or does it still kill the battery while driving down the road? Does it maintain temperature or is it still based on relative cooling to the outside? This last one is the dealbreaker for me with the Notcold. I have to fiddle with the controls in the spring and fall when it's warm during the day but then gets pretty cool at night, otherwise everything starts to freeze overnight...

So to those with a new TM, what say you about the fridge?
