Yes you need shore power for th A/C Unit to work but furnace should work directly from battery
Many 'residential digital t-stats' can be used in an RV.
Hunter, Honeywell, LUX are just a few.
Depending on how RV A/C-Furnace controls are set up some don't use the 'Blue Wire' (12V -) and some don't use the 'Red Wire' (12V +)
Wires not used should be taped off and safely tucked inside t-stat panel (don't lose them back inside wall---might need in future)
A/C Fan wiring-----you can install a mini toggle switch to switch speeds from high to low, some can be wired just with Hi Speed wire or LO speed wire, some need both wires connected in order for just HI Speed.
But residential t-stats can be used in RVs------just need to use ones that operate the display using AA batteries
