Hey John, thanks for reaching out!
The new AC units that use the R32 refrigerant require a whole new setup so you'll need the Kit # FR46AD as opposed to the standalone Furrion Chill HE # FR89AD. The Kit does come with a heat pump so you'd still have that feature on the AC unit for your RV.
If you're wanting a direct replacement for your Penguin II, then you'll want to reach out to Dometic for one of their units at this point in time: https://www.dometic.com/en-us/outdoor/contact-us
