Dometic Penguin II impossible to find

[Chuggs]

I wrote the experts. Maybe the fleet specialist at Newmar can share some gouge.

I'm thinking the thermostat to the basement...then over to the AGS... half bath...up and over to the rear A/C...then plenum rated from the rear A/C to front A/C. But I'll share what they recommend...or any sketches they may have of our rj11 wiring.

United RV in Ft. Worth claims to have several Dometic 15k btu Penguin II w/heat pump ( white only) in stock. The black is out of stock . ~$2300.00. The online salesperson texted he couldn't be absolutely certain until he has eyes on it on Monday.

I believe the Heat Pump was out of stock when I had checked. The A/C only was probably available... but if going A/C only, I may as well try the newer version. And the A/C only can use a CCC2 control board. They just dropped their prices...but we are skeptical because a lot of places are selling drop shipments and Dometic is weeks behind.

Ready to move something!

Thanks Neal… we checked those. No heat pumps. We’re going to go with a Freshjet 5 A/C only. We called those places yesterday. They showed no stock or the one that did show stock apologized that they haven’t updated their website. But…No, they don’t have any.

I can understand why Newmar steered away from Dometic. They are getting stung with tariffs from China imports. Our replacement Penguin II 15k heat pump is only four years old and was $1299. This Freshjet5 15k A/C only is $2241 …

We’ll let you know how “direct” … the “Penguin II direct replacement” is.

Hey @Chuggs - if you haven’t tried Dyers, I suggest you do. We had a great experience with them last winter when our outdoor fridge went ‘legs up.’
