Digital Thermostat Questions
Has anyone changed out their OEM digital thermostat?
My unit has an Atwood A/C and furnace and are controlled by an Atwood controller but it will only allow a low setting of 60 degrees. I would like to be able to set it as low as 45 or 50.
I contacted Atwood and they said they make them that way on purpose and there was no work around. They also said I wouldn't be able to use another brand thermostat but I think that may have been "the party line" which I understand.
This isn't rocket science right? It's just a matter of sending a signal, right? You can change out home thermostats no matter what brand furnace or A/C unit you may have so why not in an RV?
I am looking for your thoughts and or experience in doing this.
Thanks
