I have ordered THIS Wireless Indoor/Outdoor thermometer set. It has one sensor/transmitter and 3 receiver displays.Where to place the Inside readouts is pretty straightforward: 1 over the bed, 1 next to the wall clock in the living room, and 1 on the dashboard.I'm trying to think of a good place to mount the Outside sensor/transmitter?I was thinking about under the overhang, above and behind the drivers door.Where would YOU place it?Tim

Do you have a wet bay in a class C? In my class A one goes in the wet bay.

Well, you want to avoid a place that will get any direct sunlight, which would give you a false temperature reading. The space under the overhang may be OK, but it may also radiate absorbed heat, if the metal on the cab gets hot.You could try mounting it in different places for awhile, to see if it makes a difference?My first thought was to mount it under the RV, but away from any exhaust or other source of heat.Maybe I'm over-thinking this? Does it really matter if it's off by a few degrees? You are just trying to get a feel for what the temperature is outside, not break it down to the fractional degree, right?Your spot on the cab is probably fine:)

I mounted mine in the propane compartment.

I keep one in the utility compartment. To monitor freezing temps in there.
