I am thinking about changing the roof a/c (Dometic penguin 13.5k btu) to a 15k btu unit. I have ducted ceiling vents and a wall thermostat...any suggestions as to what needs to be changed besides the obvious roof unit? I am not happy with the present cooler and feel it could be a lot cooler.
Sure could use some input as to model numbers and such...don't want a heat pump unit! Please help, Karl.
On our 2012 Lexington we replaced the incredibly noisy 15k Dometic with a 15k Atwood Air Command. The Atwood unit actually has a higher cooling capacity and also uses less power. I do not have model numbers but the unit we purchased came with a new thermostat and they make thermostat wiring adapters (sold separately) that make the change over very simple. The thermostats are not interchangeable.

I found a 15K Dometic Brisk II online and just installed it today...Wow it really cools and Dometic makes the new stuff so it works with the old analog thermostat and inside cover/filter assy...Was easy to install and seems quite a bit quieter than the old 13.5 BTU Penguin cooler...I am very happy!
