No, they won't work together Tony. The new R32 Advent Air RV Air Conditioner item # ADV86SR won't work with Dometic CT Single Zone Thermostat item # DMC83ZR. You'll need to stick with an Advent thermostat.

Please note that the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner item # ADV86SR has the new R32 coolant in it and is not backwards compatible with any system made prior to 2025. If you are wanting to add this AC unit you'll need the air box and thermostat too. These are included with the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System item # ADV62SR.

Are you wanting to upgrade the AC in your motorhome?

Hey Ken! It definitely sounds like it is time to replace your Dometic AC. The Advent Air you're referencing has been phased out since everything switched to R32 refrigerant this year. On top of that, we no longer recommend simply swapping out the…

Hello Darrin, Sorry to hear that your Dometic Penguin went into retirement. The RV AC's went to a new refrigerant this year, they went from the R410a to the R32. You cannot mix the old R410a parts with the new R32 parts, they have made them to…

Hi Leah; you won't have to run new wiring but it isn't as simple as plug and play. The thermostat and air distribution box will have to be changed for both of your existing AC units. All of the old systems are set up for R410A refrigerant so…

Hello Eric, thanks for reaching out. If you are upgrading to the new R32 unit you will need to upgrade your entire AC system. The new AC unit would not intercommunicate with the controller and thermostat correctly, so you will need to use all Furrion…
