First you will need to select either a Single Zone # DMC68ZR or Multi Zone # DMC98ZR Dometic Penguin II so we can ensure you get the correct thermostat and other components. We have the Single Zone Thermostat Kit # DMC83ZR which you will pair with an Air Distribution Box # DMC66RR for the single zone.
For a Multi Zone # DMC98ZR Dometic Penguin II you will need the Multi Zone Thermostat # DMC23ZR along with an Air Distribution Box # DMC66RR for each AC.
