Dometic Penguin II Installation

Just purchased a 2018 Dometic Penguin II 13.5K BTU unit. Model 641915C751J0. Have a few questions about installation.
This unit will go on the bow of our trailer trawler which presently has neither cooling or heating.
I have a 15K Dometic unit, maybe 5 years old on the 5th wheel, 2004 with a analog thermostat. Worked fine last time I turned it on. AC voltage wiring is fairly straight forward. How to hook it up to a thermostat is a little harder.
Will need to buy a thermostat. This is a single zone unit so I believe the Dometic CT thermostat is the one I need? Some thermostats I have found on the internet come with a control box. Some do not. I am hoping that any control box is in the AC unit?
The cable, which I assume is for the thermostat, coming out the bottom of the unit has has 6 leads. Black, White, Red, Red/White and 2 Blue. I believe this unit is cooling only. I can't find a heating coil under the shroud.
I will call Dometic tomorrow (Monday) but for today anyone have any insight into the wiring or hooking it up in general?

Friz, just PM jasin1 on the sister forum www.keystoneforums.com (using your same cred's) and ask him your same question. Tell him I sent you. He's a very sharp guy, an HVAC contractor, and always willing to help. And has two large boats 'on the salt.'

Thanks! Sounds like the person I should be talking with.
