Air Distribution Box

With a non-ducted application, you will need an air distribution box installed in your ceiling. This is where the air pulled from outside cycles through your AC unit and exits as cold air into your RV or camper.

Dometic offers manual air distribution boxes with knobs you twist to set your temperature, or  an electric air distribution box that is compatible with one of our wall thermostats. 

Thermostat

Dometic offers single zone (CT) and multi-zone (Comfort Control)  thermostats depending on how many AC units your vehicle has.
