The lever is kind of hard to see. (note arrow in pics) My 5er is a '13 Alpine 3535RE with factory dual zone controlled Dometic units, but I'm willing to bet that I'm not the only one with this hidden option.
You must have gotten a dealer installed 2nd ac as my system is completely ducted and on the roof only the 1 return and 2 supply vents are in my bedroom. Zone 1 dumps into zone 2 and zone 2 is a complete unit to augment. I have actually found that running zone 1 will supply enough air to the bedroom since it is about 25% of the flow of zone 2 and being such a small space, helps. The beauty of mine on my roof in my 2014 3535RE is it is much quieter...
