Thermostat for the forward A/C unit?

We have the second 13.5k A/C option in the front bedroom of our 5er. The only control options are fan speed and temperature dials. When left on during the day (if we may be gone for most of it), the bedroom can get very cold, as that A/C runs constantly.

Is there an "easy" way to make that A/C thermostatically controlled, like the 15k we have in the main living area? That A/C has a nice digital thermostat. I don't recall the manufacturer of the A/C units off the top of my head, but the rig is in my signature if anyone might have some input. Thanks!

Go to this website:http://www.modmyrv.com/2010/07/21/rv-coleman-mach-iii-thermostat-modification, I did this about 4 years ago. I installed a digital thermostat on the wall instead of using the one on the unit. I have it where the fan cuts of just like at the house when it reaches the temperature I have it on. I kept the fan switch and temp switch in the lower assembly still in the line. I put the fan on high and turned the thermostat down as low as it would go. That way the wall thermostat operates the unit. If I wanted to use the controls in the lower assembly I just set the wall thermostat to as low as it will go so it will not cut the unit off. Then I can use the manual controls on the lower assembly. It stays so comfortable now in my RV. If all you have is just 110 volts going to the unit. You will have to wire it like the picture on the website. I didn't have to because my old carrier unit had 12 volts going to the ceiling unit as well as 110volts. So I had my 12 volts wires already their. I installed the relays in the return air duct in the ceiling.
