Dometic 15K BTU Penguin Fit Polar White Dometic 3308047.012 Replacement Shroud -- BigBird 15K BTU Penguin RV Air Conditioner

Give your rooftop Penguin AC a clean, weatherproof enclosure with the factory-correct replacement shroud. The Dometic 3308047.012 is a direct-fit OEM-style outer shell engineered specifically for the BigBird 15K BTU Dometic Penguin air conditioner. Whether your original shroud cracked from UV exposure, road debris, or a low-clearance impact, this drop-in replacement restores appearance and protection in one step.

Purpose-Built Protection for Your Dometic Penguin AC

The shroud is the first line of defense for the internal components of your rooftop air conditioner. It shields the condenser coil, fan motor, and wiring from rain, road grime, UV radiation, and wind-driven debris at highway speeds. A cracked or missing shroud is not just cosmetic -- it allows moisture intrusion and accelerates corrosion on internal components.

Dometic part number 3308047.012 is the correct shroud for the BigBird Penguin 15,000 BTU rooftop unit. It is molded in Polar White to match the standard Dometic Penguin color family and integrates with the existing mounting hardware on the unit without modification.

UV-Stabilized Material

Constructed from high-impact polystyrene with UV stabilizers to resist fading, chalking, and brittleness from years of rooftop sun exposure.

Direct OEM Fit

Engineered specifically for the BigBird 15K BTU Penguin unit. Aligns with factory mounting points -- no drilling, cutting, or adapter hardware required.

Polar White Color Match

Molded in Polar White to match standard Dometic Penguin rooftop AC units and most white RV roof finishes.

Lightweight Construction

Approximately 8 lbs -- easy for one person to handle during rooftop installation without adding significant load to the roof assembly.

What This Shroud Replaces

This shroud replaces the outer top cover on Dometic BigBird Penguin 15K BTU rooftop AC units. Common reasons for replacement include:

  • Cracking or yellowing from UV degradation
  • Impact damage from tree branches, garage clearance, or bridge strikes
  • Missing mounting tabs or broken latches that allow wind lift at highway speeds
  • Cosmetic restoration during full-unit refurbishment
Correct Part Number: Always verify your existing unit's model label before ordering. The Dometic Penguin family spans multiple BTU ratings (9.2K, 11K, 13.5K, 15K) and shroud profiles differ between them. This shroud -- part 3308047.012 -- is specifically dimensioned for the 15,000 BTU BigBird Penguin variant.

Installation Overview

Replacement is a rooftop job that typically requires two people for safe handling. The general process involves:

  • Disconnecting shore power or turning off the AC breaker completely before accessing the roof
  • Removing the existing shroud retaining screws (typically located around the shroud perimeter)
  • Lifting off the old shroud and setting it aside
  • Positioning the new 3308047.012 shroud over the unit, aligning all mounting holes
  • Reinstalling retaining screws -- do not overtighten into plastic tabs
Rooftop Safety: Always use a roof-rated ladder and exercise caution on the RV roof. Confirm the roof is rated to support your weight before walking on it. Disconnect all power to the AC unit before removing or installing the shroud.
Shroud vs. Ceiling Assembly: This listing is for the exterior rooftop shroud only -- the outer cover that sits on top of the RV. It does not include the interior ceiling assembly (return air grille/thermostat housing) that mounts inside the coach. If you need the interior component, that is a separate Dometic part.
Maintenance Tip: After installing the new shroud, inspect the foam gasket between the AC unit base pan and the roof opening. A deteriorated gasket allows conditioned air to escape into the roof cavity and lets warm outside air bypass the unit. Replace the gasket if it is compressed flat, torn, or missing sections.
