- Does the Penguin II heat as well as cool?
- Only the heat pump version provides heat. The standard model is cooling only, so check which version you are buying before you install it.
- Will it fit my existing roof opening?
- It is designed for the common 14-inch square RV roof opening. Confirm your opening size and ceiling thickness, and use the matching Dometic ceiling assembly for your ducted or non-ducted setup.
- Is it quieter than older rooftop units?
- It uses a high-performance motor and fan, but owners still hear it inside the cabin. It is not silent, and noise is a common complaint.
- What refrigerant does it use?
- It uses R410A refrigerant, which is the current standard for this class of RV air conditioner.
- Can I install it myself?
- Many owners do, but it involves roof work, sealing, wiring and a ceiling assembly. A professional install is safer if you are not comfortable with RV electrical and roof work.
- Does it work with a ducted ceiling?
- Yes. It is compatible with both ducted and non-ducted systems, provided you use the correct ceiling assembly and controls for your coach.
