I do have an option for you but we do not carry Dometic RV Rooftop AC units so I cannot attest to that. However, for most of our units, there won't be much of a difference in decibels when switching sizes but there is when switching brands. The quietest units we offer are from Furrion, the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System part # FR82PV for 13,500 BTU or part # FR42PV for 15,000 BTU. These units both run around 60 dB's inside and 80dB's outside. They are direct replacements for Dometic units so you can use your existing controls. For comparison, Advent units can run as high as 76 dB's and Atwood units can run as high as 66 dB's
