Topic: AC Unit Posted: 26 Apr 2020 at 6:51am |
Can anyone tell me the AC unit model number (also assuming it's a Dometic) for the 2017-18 year range. I figure it's the same unit in all the campers..

Have you called FR? I called them about that for our 2009 Pod and they were quite helpful in looking it up for the specific trailer. They seem to have some sort of file or database for each unit they manufacture.

What I have found may not be the exact unit (probably the updated version), so far the Brisk II comes real close.

In trying to track down what AC model I had, I also called Dometic with the serial number. They were also able to look it up. The problem with them is that they are not very customer service oriented and it's difficult to get through to a helpful person.

Dometic should be able to give you the info you need from the data on the sticker.

Those numbers trace back to the Dometic Penguin model. Looks like either the Penguin or Brisk fits the bill for power and sizing.
Thanks folks for the info!

Are you buying a new a/c? You can have mine for free if you come down to VA and take it off the roof for me.

any 9,000 to 13,500 btu unit will work and fit.. the roof top and inside bezel parts are separate items.So you need them to "match" more or less.. they are all designed to fit a 14x14 opening. None draw more then 20A and the wiring is sized for that. Honestly, If I was changing out, I would look at the 9,000btu low profile units, they cost a bit more, but I think are a better fit for the space.
