Dometic Penguin II Ceiling Assembly for Non-Ducted Installations with Wall Thermostat - Pre-Installed Multi Zone
2 products
What is the Dometic Penguin II ceiling assembly for non-ducted multi-zone systems?
This is the interior ceiling component that mates to the Dometic Penguin II rooftop air conditioner on non-ducted RV installations. The pre-installed wall thermostat configuration is wired for multi-zone control, meaning the unit is set up to be managed by a CCC2 or similar zone-capable wall thermostat rather than an onboard control. The assembly handles air distribution, filter access, and the electrical interface between the rooftop unit and your thermostat.
How do I know if I need a non-ducted ceiling assembly or a ducted one?
Look at the ceiling around your air conditioner. If air discharges directly through louvers on the ceiling assembly itself, you have a non-ducted setup and this is the correct assembly. If air is routed through ducts in the ceiling and exits through vents elsewhere in the coach, you need a ducted assembly. For ducted Coleman applications, see our Coleman Power Saver HP ceiling assembly for ducted installations.
Will this ceiling assembly work with a single-zone thermostat?
No. This version is pre-wired for multi-zone wall thermostat operation. Pairing it with a single-zone thermostat will cause control mismatches. Confirm your thermostat model and your rooftop unit's control board revision before ordering. If you are replacing the rooftop unit alongside the ceiling assembly, also review compatible options like the FreshJet 5 with heat pump ceiling assembly for non-ducted installations to keep the control scheme consistent.
Is the Penguin II ceiling assembly compatible with Furrion or Coleman rooftop units?
No. The Penguin II ceiling assembly is engineered specifically for the Dometic Penguin II rooftop air conditioner and uses Dometic's control wiring and air distribution geometry. Furrion and Coleman rooftop units require their own matched interior assemblies. For Furrion applications, see the Furrion original ceiling assembly for non-ducted installations. Always confirm your rooftop unit model number before ordering.
Does this assembly ship with the wall thermostat and wiring harness?
The wall thermostat is pre-installed and configured for multi-zone operation as part of this assembly package. Check the individual product listings in this collection for the exact thermostat model, harness length, and any additional control board components included. If your installation is replacing an older non-CCC2 setup, you may need a wiring adapter to connect to your existing rooftop unit.
How difficult is installation for a DIY RV owner?
If you are replacing an existing Dometic non-ducted ceiling assembly, the swap is straightforward: drop the old assembly, transfer or replace the gasket, land the wiring at the rooftop unit and thermostat, and secure the new assembly to the ceiling template. Plan on two to three hours and a second set of hands to support the assembly during wiring. If you are converting from a different brand or from a ducted setup, the work is more involved and may require ceiling modifications.
