Digital thermostat upgrade help needed
I have been out of rving for the past couple of years due to family health issues. I'm ready to get back on the road now but before I do , I want to change out my old analog thermostat for a digital. ...

I installed my Honeywell digital a few years back, and would never go with the inaccurate duotherm again. The analog tstat just doesnt have the sensitivity the maintain a nice constant temperature. Can be +/- 3C or more before it kicks in/out vs the digital that will maintain it a +/- 1C. Plus, depending on which you go with (I had the honeywell cheapest one out there), you can add programming schedules if you wish. Having a parked trailer, it was convenient to have the temperature auto drop at night and warm the trailer before I wake.
I recently took it to the next step by putting in a wifi controlled tstat so that I could do things like cool or warm the trailer while I'm en route to the campgrounds, or of course turn the unit off if I realize I left it on while headed home :)
It's really a very easy mod, and if you don't care if you have the high/low fan feature, can realistically be done in under 10 minutes. If you want the high low feature, then it's just a bit more work adding in the SPDT switch and soldering a couple of wires.
Happy modding!
