Thermostat

That is why 1000s have done that mod

I did mine back in 2007

I installed 7-day programmable versions of the digital Honeywell stat to replace our two OEM analog stats, and yep, they work well and don't cost a lot. I added a mini-toggle switch on the side to control the A/C fan speed. As said, it's an easy and effective mod.

Love my digital thermostats.

I just converted mine last week, unfortunately I needed to get a $50 non programmable Honeywell thermostat as I have both an air conditioner / heat pump, and a propane furnace.

This was just what i was looking for.

My question is this. I have a 2013 Keystone Laredo with what I believe to be the analog thermostat. You have to slide the little lever to adjust head and AC.
Thought the digital would work better over all regulating the heat. Not so much of a temp change between running and not running.
I was at my local camping store and told them I wanted to look into the digital one for my trailer. I was told that I would have to get numbers of furnace and AC units to see if they would work with digital or if I would need to change parts in both units. Told me those parts could run like 5 to 600 bucks for each unit. I thought BULLS@$^ ! Do any of you know of anything like this in changing over to a digital ?

Can you tell us the brand and model of the AC unit, the furnace and what T stat you have now?

Many of the digitial T stats in the 17 to $25 range have dry contacts to do the switching. Once you sort out the wiring, they play well with the RV systems. I did the Hunter T stat upgrade several years ago on my Dometic AC and Hydrotherm (Atwood) furnace. Wally world was selling them for like $18 I think back then. They change brands every now and then for whichever ones they can get cheaper.

Hope this helps
