Dometic digital thermostat
Been wanting to go with a digital thermostat but I was not very excited about using the battery powered home units for the conversion. Then found out Dometic has a new thermostat and control board. ...

I just have a preference to everthing running off 12v. I realize if you change batteries once a year all is fine. The add-on fan switch also is just not my style. BTW the Dometic has an automatic fan speed setting. Nothing wrong with the lower cost thermostat. It may even have more features like programability to set back temps based on time.
I did have a delay on the blower fan start to let the compressor start by itself on a marginal generator. That feature is now gone but I have found I really will not be using a generator to run the air for extended periods. At that point we are looking for hookups.
The price did not bother me a bit. Same as if the fridge control board went out I would not opt for a lower priced board if it relied on batteries. Reminds me it is time to change batteries in the smoke detector and CO detector :R Why can't those be 12v connected?
I also found the existing freeze sensor in a bad spot. The new sensor seems better IMO and I have had an issue a few times.
Anyway it is just another option if considering a change.
Hi All.
So, What is stopping you from doing just that ?. Our Motorhome has everything hard wired to the 12 Volt System. I went out and bought all new "Batery Operatd Units",
We have Double of everything now, except for the "Smoke Detectors", we have if I remember correctly about 7 Smoke Alarms. As fast as an RV Burns to the ground, its nice to have a few extra "Smoke Alarms".
They do give you a bit more notice if there is a fire inside of our Motorhome. Works out for us anyways.
Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill
