Well, we just got back from what was to be a float trip.....quick storm rolled in at 2am. I saw the lighting and ran for the awning. Got a couple of the lights down when the awning was whipped up out of my reach and billowed up about 3 feet up racking the arms. I had to rip the rest of my $50 stinkin lights down tearing all the light connections. Then the awning never seemed so slow. I had to stop once and back up due to binding. What excitement. They said they recorded as high as 85mph winds but the campsite saw 70. The spot next to us was a father and two sons in a tent. After yelling at them twice I had to run out to get them and bring them inside. Their screen room blew up into the woods and the tent was trashed. They stayed the night and we made them breakfast since they were going to have a long day of cleaning up.
Anyway, has anyone here done the Digital Thermostat mod? It does not wire up like they show. Mine needs the positive wire used to get it to work....at least testing the wires....but then when I hooked up the new thermostat nothing works. I checked everything and I'm sure of the wiring.... but like I said the RH RC needs to be positive and not ground as shown. I think I have a problem with the new thermostat, but I just wanted to check with someone else here.
Thanks guys.... Good to hear things are going well loydt.
