No, I replaced my DuoTherm a few years ago with a digital Honeywell.

The Y and W are simple (heat/cooling). And I have the fan control on a SPDT toggle. Currently the ground wire is going to Rc/Rh.
BUT, the smart tstat needs a 12v power source at some point, so there need's to be a + connection, which I believe should be at the C terminal. I'll test it prior to hooking into the system to make sure it runs before going any further.
I'm certainly not an HVAC guy, or an electrician. But, since we're dealing with pretty low voltages here I'm not to concerned.
Maybe I'm back to the drawing board on this one and it's a project that's just not meant to be... Hoping not. So, the ground at Rc/Rh, and the +7.5 is not connected as the tstat just runs on the battery. This is the current functioning setup.
Was hoping to minic what John did with his Ecobee in his RV but now thinking that the Dometic setup will make it prohibitive.(EcoBee in RV). Open to any suggestions/ideas.
