Recommended AC Unit w/ Heat Pump to Replace Older Dometic Systems  

Updated 01/26/2026 | Published 01/24/2026

Question:

Hello. I need to replace old heat pumps on a 2005 Newmar Dutch Star. They are the old Dometic units. Will the GE heat pump be a direct replacement? Would there be any mods that will need to be done? Thanks.

Hey Jeff, welcome back! The GE Appliances Low-Profile RV AC w Heat Pump item # GE96RR would be a great option to replace your old Dometic setups. This kit includes everything you need. It has a 13,500 btu AC unit with a built in heat pump, an air distribution box that works with ductless setups, a control box, and a thermostat.

This system will connect to the existing wiring in your Newmar motorhome. You will need one of the GE Appliances item # GE96RR for each Dometic system you are replacing. These are single zone systems that operate separately of each other.

We also have the GE Appliances item # GE66RR, which is the same kit but in black.

If you have a ducted setup you'll need the GE Appliances HE Low-Profile RV AC w/ Heat Pump item # GE46RR in black or item # GE76RR in white.

If you have any additional questions, go ahead and click on the box that says Add Comment and I'll be happy to answer them.

@JeffA You're welcome! Yes, you can control an external furnace through one of the GE Appliances Low-Profile RV AC w Heat Pump item # GE96RR you were looking at. GE is going to be the only brand available that has heat pumps built into the ac units. Do you have a ducted or ductless setup?
