- To use a home type thermostat on your RV HVAC systems you need a self powered or at least capable of operating from 12VDC. Not familiar with that model, so you need to figure it our for yourself. Most common is a Hunter Douglas model that is self powered and available from places like Walmart for around 20 dollars. With the addition of a mini switch you can still retain the two speed AC fan feature.
- As donn stated it needs to be self powered (has batteries) or runs on 12V.
Is there a specific model number, or is it just a 5000? - Looks to me like it will work.

Although if you are going to run both heat and AC, I can't help you as I've never done that. - What thermostat do you have now?
This link shows Hunter upgrade but wiring should be same.
