Both RVP(Coleman) and Dometic are just now getting enough built units to offer to the retail market. Before, ALL production was allocated to the RV makers. For Dometic, it is INDEED a Supply Chain problem as Domewtic's are built in China. They are sitting in a Container ship off the West Coast. RVP is built in Wichita, Kansas, BUT!!!!!

When I replaced my dometic penguin II 15btu heat pump in June I could have sworn it said made in Mexico ? on the box/paperwork. I’m sure it’s all China parts though.
They used to have a Mexico plant that built components for Awnings and AC units. It was destroyed by a fire years ago(4/8/2019). So, Dometic started building all in China. The literature or boxes may be a carryover from the mexico plant. MANY years ago, Dometic was built in La Grange Indiana in the heart of RV country, BY UAW union members. Doug
