Dometic Penquin II vs Coleman Mach8
I'm trying to decide between the Dometic Penquin II 13,500 and the Coleman MACH 8 13,500 for the bedroom. Pros and Cons.

If you have the Dometic Dual Zone T-stat you can link up the Penquin to zone 2, don't think the Dometic T-stat will talk to a Coleman.
We added the Penquin to the bedroom of our '10 2955 RL and with the correct interface box in the AC we could control the main AC on Zone 1 and the newly installed Bedroom Penquin on Zone 2.

We used the penguin for our 3rd AC because we wanted all the thermostats to work the same. Too hard when you have to tell the DW that two work like this but the other one works like this.

The Mach 8 I installed on my former 5th wheel sounded like a Cessna on the roof. It bothered me and it was my A/C. Check for noise from the A/C you select. I'm just sayin.

We have a Penguin for the bedroom and it does very well and is reasonably quiet. It was the lowest one I could find for overall trailer height which is now at 13'2". I believe the Coleman may take you above that 13'6" max height
