Thanks for your help! Re the wifi, I think I'll be good with the park as I connect directly to the main router. Plus, could always get an additional port opened up if need be - owners are pretty good that way. Don't think there is much of a firewall to deal with. And as an alternative, I could leave my Mifi hotspot there as the data consumption for the unit if constantly hooked up is 15/20 MB per month.
From what I'm reading (again, I'll test it likely next weekend) is that the Dometic control board takes the power from 12V down to 7.5V down to the tstat. But, since 7.5V won't be enough to power the tstat I'm thinking of just taking an external transformer to provide the juice and connect it (-12v) to the 'C' and (+12v) to the Rh/Rc jumpered position. Or finding some other constant source for 12v.
Sorry, just talking aloud to see if what is bouncing around my mind makes actual sense lol.
Thanks again! I'll certainly report on my outcome.
