No, I don't have a Gold but I'm curious what type of "RV Airflow system" do you mean?

It is a directional flow device that you put in the plenum of your a/c unit to aid in air distribution. You can find them at rvairflow.com

I think you'll find it will not work on a ducked system. The unit is for the units with the controls on the ceiling. If you watch the install video you'll see he has the ceiling unit off to install it from the bottom. There is no bottom access in the Golds can't speak to other units.
From their web site: V Airflow is a specially designed, patent pending, module that installs into the plenum, the space between the bottom of your air-conditioning unit and the cover plate, that captures 100% of the discharged air and directs it smoothly into your RV’s existing duct work. The module is a non-electrical, non-mechanical device. It removes air friction and turbulence which allows your roof mounted air-conditioner to operate at its designed capacity*.

I am just trying to figure out if it will work on my 2015 370FB. All of the literature is showing newer A/C units and not sure if it will work with mine.

If you don't have the plate on the ceiling something like this  it will not fit. The Durango Gold unit the access to the plenum is gained by lifting the A/C unit off. Guess you don't like the answer, contact them at office@revelproductsinc.com and they will tell you the same thing. Sealing vent like this is no go  |

Edd, It's not for the controls....it fits inside and no longer allows you to use the dump feature (Opening the ends to allow most of the air straight down), on the ends of the AC panel. |

That system does not work on ducted air systems. Unless you have that large plate on the ceiling of your RV for A/C it will not work, it installs under the plate on the ceiling. |

I used this video to make one and the difference is amazing. youtu.be/3Vhv_b-1zAkWe have a KZ Gold Rush with a single A/C so before I buy one for the front which is prewired I made this with a few minor modifications. The cost was under $10 and took me about 30 minutes. We were in the mid-90's so I still have to make a few minor adjustments later this week when we get some cooler weather. Prior to adding this during the afternoon sun we were 86 inside. The next day with this in, the highest it got was 76 so well work the cost and effort. |

I can handle doing this mod which for me is way cheaper than paying the USD exchange and freight to Canada on the RV Air Flow unit. Hopefully it will improve the air flow into the bedroom which is weak at the moment. I only have the one AC unit on our D250RES here in Canada. |

The video showing the RV airflow product is on a ducted system and unit is identical to mine. The video showing the poor man’s version is also on a ducted system. It’s pointed out a few times not to impede air flow into the ducts. |

At about 2:50 he shows the large white ceiling plate, the product goes under it. I don't know about ALL ducted but mine has no ceiling plate everything flat inset into the ceiling.. There is no lower plenum access, I have a couple small plates with filters and all air exits are like this:
To use the device you need something like this on the ceiling and there is nothing close to that in mine, thus it does not work on ducted.
