I do have some great options for you but we don't currently carry Dometic rooftop air conditioner units. That said, we do have the Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air Conditioner part # FR62PV for black or part # FR82PV for white which will be an excellent plug-in replacement for a Dometic rooftop air conditioner unit. It's not as low profile as the Penguin at 11-1/4" but it's close at 13-1/2".
