Our Monaco has the 5 button Dometic thermostat, controlling 2 atwood furnaces and 2 dometic penguin a/c's with heat pumps.
It has remote temperature sensors, 1 near the passenger seat, and 1 on the sidewall near the back of the bedroom.
the systems have worked perfectly, except the digital thermostat settings have never been close to "Real" particularly with the furnaces.
Our "comfortable" night furnace setting is 53 degrees!
First thing in the morning, I'll bump em up to maybe 58-61...
The actual temp in the coach at night is cool but not chilly, and it is warm during the day set to 60.
The front/rear zone behavior is identical. (Thinking this would rule out a sensor or sensor location problem)
The a/c's / heat pumps are similar, but not as bad, it is the propane furnaces that are "way off"
Is there any kind of adjustment / setting so these things more accurately reflect "Reality"?
the sensors will not change their reading no matter furnace or AC.
so if it reads 60 on ac it will read 60 on furnace.
like other have suggested tape a thermostat where the sensors and see what they read before doing anything
the one on the rear wall is really not placed correctly most remote sensors are in the ceiling one frontal area and one bedroom area
After reading where your sensors are located you would have to set your stats a good 10 degrees cooler or warmer to have the wanted temps in the middle of the motorhome
to me the sensors are way too far forward and too far back
