MOST RV units have a wall tstat and IF they have a wall tstat, they have a freeze sensor mounted in the evap coil. If installed correctly and functioning, the AC can NEVER freeze up from any parameter. So, if the OP has a wall tstat, he needs to check and verify the freeze sensor is indeed in the evap coil. Doug
i would say the Majority of Rv's ever MGF and on the road have the controls on the A/C units
yes most new middle and high end RV's of "CURRENT" mfg have t-stats on the wall for a/c and heat
don't know when the change over to wall mount t-stat became predominate in sales of new rv's, but, i don't think the are predominate in totality
only in new mfg for the past few years, maybe the past ten, maybe less
Well, lets look at EXPERIANCE. I have 35 years as an RV Tech, we sell Pop-ups to 500K motorhomes. We service ALL kinds. My statement is dead on. Pop ups will have roof mounted controls. Bare Bones small Trailers will have roof mounted controls. These 2 are in the extreme minority of sales. So, as I stated, the majority of RV's will have wall mounted tstats. Doug
