Will The Furrion Chill Cube Be A Good Replacement For My Current Dometic Penguin Units?

Question:
2001 Monaco Windsor. Replacing Ducted Dometic penguin 11 both front and rear. No furnace thermostat needed as I have an aquahot system. Think I need FR99TD. Why does FR99TD without a thermostat cast more that the model with a thermostat?

Hey Jerry,
The Furrion Chill Cube Unit # FR99TD would be a solid replacement for your Dometic units you have. In terms of the price Furrion prices their items, I wish I had an explanation as to why, but prices do flucuate day to day. Both options are going to be good replacement systems for your Dometic and run more efficiently.
