When we did our testing we found the Furrion AC units to be the quietest. This is available in Black # FR25PR or White # FR52PR if you want the controls on the unit. If you want a wall thermostat, then you need a whole Furrion setup which can be found in White as part # FR85PV.

For a direct replacement that matches up with the 6-pin wiring of your Dometic AC unit we have the Advent Air AC with the Start Capacitor. This comes in Black # ACDOM135B or White # ACDOM135 as well.

The Furrion is the quietest, but the Advent matches directly up whether you have a ducted system or not so that's essentially what your choice rides on.

Hey Bryan, thanks for reaching out. You can upgrade the AC unit, but it will mean replacing your entire AC system - rooftop unit and controls/distribution box. Reason being the new Coleman units use a different refrigerant than the old units, and the…
