Replacement RV Air Conditioner For Duo Therm Unit 59516.531  

Question:

I have a duo-therm 59516.531 and was wondering which AC unit I need? Do I need the one with the heat pump?

Expert Reply:

For an RV with a currently installed Dometic Duo-Therm 59516.531 AC unit, I recommend the Advent Air for Dometic Setups, # ACDOM150. This is a 15,000 Btu replacement option that plugs directly into your current Dometic setup and works seamlessly with your existing, in-good-working-order Dometic air distribution box and thermostat. The benefit of his option is that has an adapter wiring kit, which saves you time and effort.

This does not have a heat option, but you can choose to add the Electric Heat Strip, # ACMHD. It is not a necessary add-on.

What is included at no extra is the start capacitor. This helps to jumpstart the AC and is a beneficial upgrade that provides the AC a boost when shore power or generator power isn't enough to start it. Everything you need in order to replace your current AC unit is included in this option, which makes installation simple and easy.

Hello, I am looking to change my Dometic Duo Therm air conditioner model 59516531. I recommend that you install Advent Air RV Air Conditioners - ACDOM150. This one does not heat. Do you have a model that both air conditions and heats?

@PierreP The # ACDOM150 does not have a built in heater, you can a heat strip # ACMHD but it will only help with brisk mornings, it does not work in place of a furnace. We do not have any air conditioners with a built in heater, we recommend that you use your furnace for heating. Even the Dometic Penguin II High Capacity RV Air Conditioner w/ Heat Pump - Single Zone - 15,000 Btu - White # DMC68ZR has it listed with a heat pump, this would still only be for brisk mornings and would not work as a heater. We do offer furnaces separately like the # DMC54RR.

@KateF Thank you for your reply. Basically what we need is additional heating in the morning because we are in Florida. So if I understand correctly I could purchase the ACDOM150 and a bandwidth for the heat. Can you provide me with what I need to order to solve my problem. Thank you for your good advice.

@PierreP You will want to purchase the # ACDOM150 then you can add the # ACMHD. Like I said it does not work in place of a heater though, but it will help get the cold out in the morning. If you don't want to use a furnace to heat up, you could also consider adding an electric fireplace like the Greystone 26" Electric Fireplace with Crystals - Recessed Mount - Black # 324-000069, that way you aren't burning through propane like you do with a furnace, but it will help heat you up a little more in the morning.
