Dometic FreshJet 5 Ceiling Assembly for Non-Ducted Installations
1 product
What is the Dometic FreshJet 5 non-ducted ceiling assembly?
The FreshJet 5 ceiling assembly is the interior air distribution box that mounts to the underside of your RV roof and pairs with a Dometic FreshJet 5 series rooftop air conditioner in non-ducted installations. It houses the return air filter, supply louvers, and built-in controls, so cooled air discharges directly into the living space instead of routing through ceiling ductwork. If your rig has a single AC opening with no duct network, this is the matching interior half of the system.
How do I know if I need a non-ducted ceiling assembly instead of a ducted one?
Look up into your existing AC opening. If air comes out of louvers built into the ceiling assembly itself, directly below the rooftop unit, the system is non-ducted and this assembly is the correct match. If air is routed through vents located away from the AC opening via channels in the ceiling, you have a ducted system and should shop the ducted ceiling assembly collection instead. Always confirm the rooftop unit model number before ordering.
Does this ceiling assembly include a thermostat or heat pump support?
This assembly uses the integrated controls built into the ceiling unit itself rather than a separate wall thermostat. If your installation calls for wall thermostat control, see the Dometic non-ducted ceiling assembly with wall thermostat. For systems pairing the FreshJet 5 with a heat pump rooftop unit, the correct match is the FreshJet 5 heat pump non-ducted ceiling assembly.
Is the FreshJet 5 ceiling assembly easy to install as a DIY replacement?
Yes for most RV owners comfortable working overhead. The assembly mounts to the existing AC opening using the rooftop unit's hold-down bolts and connects to the supplied 120V wiring. Drop the old assembly, transfer or replace the roof gasket as needed, set the new unit in place, and torque the bolts to spec. Allow about an hour and have a helper to support the assembly during install. If you need help confirming fitment, text or call our team at 817-984-1852.
