Dometic Blizzard NXT Air Conditioner/Heat Pump

At first, I thought these were just a a rebranding of the Atwood air conditioners after Dometic had bought Atwood but on closer inspection, they are completely different since this unit seems to still use only one motor.  Good to see Dometic putting some work into improving the air conditioning systems.  I can't find the units yet online so I'm curious to know the price.

The youtube video really highlights how much injection molding and insulation they are using in these new units compared to what my old ACs look like.

The guy said it mounts up using the same screw holes. I wonder if he means it's a direct
replacement for a Penguin?

Yeah, all the rooftop ACs, as far as I know, utilize the same 14x14 cutout and should have the same screw alignment.  The only issue might be that you have to replace the existing interior plate and cover if it doesn't fit for the new
AC.

These NXT air conditioners are pretty slickly packaged.  Hopefully they are priced similar to existing air conditioners.
