Can Dometic Freshjet be Replaced with Furrion Chill Cube with Heat Pump

Question

Question:

Can I use the ducted Chill Cube with heat pump to upgrade from Dometic Freshjet 5s in a dual zone system? Provided that I upgrade the thermostat too. Can I integrate the furnace with the thermostat? 2011 Forest River Berkshire 390qs

Hey John, yes you can replace the Dometic Fershjet that you have now with a Furrion Chill Cube with heat pump but you would need the part # FR67TQ which comes with the air box and needed thermostat. The furnace you have now will also work with the included thermostat of this kit as well.

Thank you for the quick response. Is the included thermostat able to be used as a dual zone thermostat, or do I need two? Additionally, can the Microtouch Easy Air thermostat be used? And finally, is there any chance that the Freshjet 5 wiring gauge is not compatible with the Chill Cube? Cheers! John J. Langan

@JohnL right now they are all only setup to be used as single zone. Hopefully Furrion eventually comes out with a dual zone but right now it would have to be two single zone setups.

Hey Melanie. The reason you can't find a replacement for your GE ARC15AACBL2 15,000 btu air conditioner is because they phased them out. In 2025 all RV AC systems had to change over to a new coolant called R32. This was a EPA mandated decision.…

Hey Kenny, welcome back! The reason for that note is because all of the new systems since 2025 use R32 refrigerant due to EPA regulations. Any 2024 and older systems use R410A and their parts are not compatible with the R32 units. It doesn't mean…
