Heat Strip Part # For Host Mammoth A/C

Is there a chart on the Dometic website somewhere to determine the correct part # for my A/C in my Host Mammoth? I called Dometic and got two different part #'s one for ducted and one for non-ducted. Since I have a single duct to the bed area, I ordered the ducted part #. The installation instructions say this part is for a Brisk Air II. According to my manuals I have a low profile Penguin.

    Show-off ;)
    We actually warm up houses in CA and NV mostly with our gas fireplaces.
    In CA we had efficient firebox, when in NV it is just gas logs.
    Still even real flame fireplace efficiency sucks, you warm up the spot you need, saving energy central heating would waste in other rooms.
    The mood fireplace brings >>> PRICELESS.

    Well, good luck with the install. Interested to see how it works out!


    Thanks, I will post the correct # if I ever figure it out. Since I'm staying in the camper full time and with the mild Texas winters, I think the heat strip would help some.

    Dometic advised me to use the heat strip for a ducted model due to close proximity of the duct to the heat strip. The manual provided to me by Host does not match the model # of my A/C unit.

    Yeah, I think I have to use one for a ducted unit due to the duct hose stuck up in the discharge area of the A/C. Probably will install under the top compressor shroud.


    Makes sense. The Host we just bought came with model Dometic A/C model # 640310. The link I posted above matches it to that model, so aside from the duct that host mounts in there it should be correct if your A/C model number is the same. It is listed in the Owners manual binder Host provides.

    As a side note I have noticed that very little cold air comes out of the bedroom "duct"
