Welcome back Bart, and thanks for the information! To replace your 13,500 btu Dometic Duo-Therm Penguin model 620526.321, I recommend the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System item # ADV87QR for a ducted setup or item # ADV77QR for a ductless orientation.

There's no way to just replace your Dometic AC unit and reuse your old controller, you'll need to replace all your AC system components. This is due to the EPA changing the regulations on the refrigerant in the AC units at the beginning of 2025. They've been upgraded to R32 and your Dometic Duo-Therm has the now obsolete 410a refrigerant. None of the 410a components are compatible now with the newer systems. You will be able to use the existing wiring to power the AC system and connect the new thermostat if yours has one.

The Advent Air item # ADV87QR is a 13,500 btu system that includes, a white AC unit, an air distribution box for a RV with air ducts, and a new wall mounted thermostat. The louvers on the air distribution box can be opened to allow air to vent directly from it. This kit is also available with a black AC unit item # ADV59QR.

If you decide to go with one of the ducted Advent systems, I highly recommend picking up the Bluetooth Remote Controller for Advent Air RV Air Conditioner Thermostat item # ADV67QR. It'll allow you to control the settings on the thermostat from anywhere in your RV.

The Advent Air item # ADV77QR is also a 13,500 btu system that includes, a white AC unit and a air distribution box that is designed for ductless layouts. The controls are built into the air distribution box so this system does not include a thermostat. This system is available with a black AC unit as well item # ADV27QR.

What area or room in your Prevost are you replacing the AC? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

it's the forwardmost unit of the 3 roof airs that has failed. It is a ducted system. and I am contemplating replacing all 3 units for uniformity. Is there a blue tooth system that can control all 3 from 1 laptop or smart phone? Also. I'm thinking 15,000 btu each.

@BartS Unfortunately, none of the new R32 AC systems have multi-zone capabilities for a Bluetooth or other wireless systems. The 15,500 Btu Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System item # ADV69QR in black or item # ADV99QR in white would be the correct ones for a ducted layout. The only multi-zone system we have available is the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - Multi Zone - 15,000 Btu - Black - R32 item # FR45TD or item # FR73TD in White. You would need two of each of the following parts for your 2nd and 3rd AC systems: Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner item # FR58TD in black or item # FR86TD in white. Air Distribution Box for Furrion Chill RV Air Conditioners item # FR68TD Multi Zone Controller for Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner Setup - R32 item # FR53TD

@JerredH It looks like the ADV99QR kit comes with everything I will need for installation. I will order 1 and see how it works, and if all is satisfactory, I will order 2 more. Thank You!

@BartS You're welcome! You are correct the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System item # ADV99QR does come with everything you need to complete the installation. I also recommend picking up the Bluetooth Remote Controller for Advent Air RV Air Conditioner Thermostat item # ADV67QR. It'll allow you to adjust the settings on your new AC system without having to use the thermostat.
