Question:

I have a duo-therm 59516.531 and was wondering which AC unit I need? Do I need the one with the heat pump?

For an RV with a currently installed Dometic Duo-Therm 59516.531 AC unit, I recommend the Advent Air for Dometic Setups, # ACDOM150. This is a 15,000 Btu replacement option that plugs directly into your current Dometic setup and works seamlessly with your existing, in-good-working-order Dometic air distribution box and thermostat. The benefit of his option is that has an adapter wiring kit, which saves you time and effort.

This does not have a heat option, but you can choose to add the Electric Heat Strip, # ACMHD. It is not a necessary add-on.

What is included at no extra is the start capacitor. This helps to jumpstart the AC and is a beneficial upgrade that provides the AC a boost when shore power or generator power isn't enough to start it. Everything you need in order to replace your current AC unit is included in this option, which makes installation simple and easy.
