Hi crown,

Only if they are pre 2001'. After 01, the units must use the comfort control center which operates from the

curcuit board.

Do you know your serial#'s ?

Did Dometic really quit making the models that use the analog thermostat?  The brochure on the Dometic website still lists many models available with analog thermostat connections.

I just bought a new, but previously owned, Dometic Penguin on Ebay.  It may be pre 2001, but according to the Dometic website based on the model number it still uses an analog thermostat.  I have verified this one does use an analog thermostat.

I just found out from Dometic that the unit I bought is junk.  Dometic no longer sells the base pan seperately and mine got bent up in shipping.  I can probably get my money back, but I really want a working unit instead.

Hi John,

None of your Mo#'s are current on the dealer site so, I will have to look them up in my books

on Monday when I get back in the office.

Brian, what I ment was, if he had digital units, he couldn't easily change them to analog without spending a ton of $$.
