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 have a DuoTherm A/C and an Atwood furnace. I know this update has been discussed a few years ago,but I have forgotten the specifics. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Wiring diagram,type and model # of thermostat,etc. would be greatly appreciated. My current analog thermostat only seems to work when it wants to! Thank you so much in advance.

Here are the results of a search on "thermostat upgrade" over the past 12 months. Should answer most of your questions and keep you busy reading for quite a while! :BBarneySearch results.

Do you think digital cold will be better than analog cold? If you have a bad thermostat it can likely be fixed with an exact replacement unit.

The first is the accuracy of the set temperature. You can enter a specific temp instead of moving a slider close to the number printed on the front of the t-stat. 2nd is how easily you can adjust the temperature differential that controls how far above or below the set temp turns on the a/c or heat.Set up right a digital t-stat can provide a more consistent interior temperature.Switching to a digital t-stat made a big difference in the comfortability inside my trailer.

Thank You Barney. YOUR reply is greatly appreciated.
