The Dometic Penguin II High Efficiency is a low-profile rooftop air conditioner for RVs, campers and travel trailers, rated at 11,000 Btu/h and drawing about 11.4 amps on 115 V. Its 11-1/4 inch height keeps it low on the roof, and vibration-dampening brackets are meant to keep it quiet. It suits owners of larger rigs who need a second unit or a replacement that runs efficiently on a 30-amp setup. Against bigger 13,500 and 15,000 Btu rooftop units it cools less but uses less power and sits lower; it needs a separate ceiling assembly to finish the install.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 across 917 ratings, owners largely report strong cooling and quieter running than the unit it replaces. Complaints center on the separate ceiling assembly and the manual thermostat.
The Dometic Penguin II is an 11,000 BTU cool-only rooftop air conditioner for RVs, campers, travel trailers and motorhomes. It is a high-efficiency model that draws 11.4 total amps. It can run on a single 15-amp breaker, and in cooler conditions two units can run on a 30-amp breaker.
The unit stands 11-1/4 inches tall, a low profile that helps reduce wind resistance. It has a carbon steel base pan and vibration-dampening brackets for quiet operation. Its airflow design and high-efficiency compressor are meant to cool the interior quickly and evenly.
It can be installed ducted or non-ducted and fits a 14" x 14" vent opening. A roof compression gasket is pre-installed on the base to seal the unit against the RV roof. The ceiling assembly, thermostat and control board kit are sold separately.
