Compatibility & Replacement
This unit is designed as a direct replacement for the following legacy Dometic models:
- H541816AXX1C0
- H541916AXX1C0
- H541816AXX1C0
- H541916AXX1C0
The FreshJet 4 Series provides a modern upgrade with:
- Improved airflow performance
- Quieter operation
- Enhanced energy efficiency
- Updated R32 refrigerant for better environmental performance
It maintains compatibility with existing Dometic ceiling assemblies when properly configured.
Important Installation Note
All new replacement RV air conditioner units include a factory pre-installed roof compression gasket on the base of the unit.
This gasket is engineered to create a proper seal between the air conditioner and the RV roof, ensuring a secure and leak-resistant installation.
No additional roof gasket or sealant is required for the rooftop unit itself.
Need Help Confirming Fitment?
Our team at United RV Parts is available to assist with proper fitment and compatibility.Call or text 817-984-1852 with your existing air conditioner model number, and we’ll make sure you get the correct replacement the first time.
Additional Requirement
RJ11 to RJ45 Adapter Harness (Part #9610008210) is required for most Penguin II replacements where existing RJ11 control wiring is being adapted to the newer RJ45 communication system.
