Dometic 9620017216 FreshJet 5 15,000 BTU Low-Profile RV Rooftop Air Conditioner with Heat Pump - White

The Dometic FreshJet 5 (FJX5557EHPWHCS) is a 15,000 BTU low-profile rooftop air conditioner with integrated heat pump, engineered as a direct drop-in replacement for the Dometic Penguin II. It maintains the same 10.5" installed height and mounting footprint, making upgrades and replacements straightforward without roof modifications. Compatible with standard 14" x 14" RV vent openings, it suits both new builds and retrofit installations.

This electronic-control model ships with a pre-installed Multi-Zone FreshJet control board, enabling seamless integration with Dometic's Connect Essential thermostat or a compatible wall thermostat (sold separately). For Penguin II replacement applications, use the RJ45 adapter harness kit (Part #9610008210) to connect existing wiring.

Key Features:

• 15,000 BTU cooling capacity with an integrated heat pump for efficient electric heating and cooling
• Low-profile design at 10.5" installed height — same footprint as the Dometic Penguin II for direct replacement
• Built-in hard start capacitor for reliable, smooth compressor startups — especially important when running on shore power or generators
• Pre-installed Multi-Zone FreshJet electronic control board for simplified setup and multi-zone system compatibility
• Ducted or non-ducted installation — flexible for a wide range of RV configurations
• Reinforced steel base for long-term structural durability on the road
• R32 refrigerant — lower global warming potential compared to legacy refrigerants
• Operates on 115V / 15.3A compressor draw (standard RV shore power compatible)
• Fits standard 14" x 14" vent openings
• White finish; no condensate pump included

Controls & Compatibility Notes: Ceiling assembly or wall thermostat controls are sold separately for new installations. For Penguin II replacement wiring, the RJ45 Adapter Harness Kit (Part #9610008210) is required.

The Dometic FreshJet 5 delivers a meaningful upgrade in efficiency, quieter operation, and modern climate control integration — all in a package that installs exactly where your existing rooftop unit sits.
