Hey GD! The Dometic Penguin II High Capacity RV Air Conditioner w/ Heat Pump # DMC98ZR is the equivalent to the 651816HXX1C0-01 you're referencing. This will work as a replacement as long as you have the CCCII Thermostat for Dometic Multi Zone RV Air Conditioning Systems # DMC23ZR.

Hey GD, did the Penguin II air conditioner with heat pump end up being the right match for your setup? Knowing how it worked could help others looking for the same replacement.
