The Dometic FreshJet 5 Series 15,000 BTU Mechanical Rooftop Air Conditioner with Heat Pump (9620015926) is the next evolution of low-profile RV rooftop air conditioning, engineered as a direct replacement for the Dometic Penguin II. Delivering powerful cooling and efficient electric heat in a sleek white housing, this unit maintains the same installed 10.5" low-profile height and mounting footprint as the Penguin II — making it a true drop-in upgrade with no rework required.
Featuring an upgraded motor and optimized blower system, the FreshJet 5 reduces interior cabin noise by up to 9 dB compared to the Penguin II in non-ducted applications. The built-in hard start capacitor ensures reliable, smooth compressor startup every time — even when other appliances are running simultaneously. An aerodynamic, UV-resistant shroud and a steel-reinforced base are built to withstand the rigors of life on the road.
This mechanical control version requires no pre-installed control board. It is compatible with both ducted and non-ducted RV configurations, providing flexible installation options for new RV builds, universal replacements, or upgrades.
