If you want it fixed before you leave do what Doug suggests. Doug...Is a "Snip the tip" going to be the easiest solution or can he easily replace the thermister?
The OP must have a AUTO temp refer. I have never seen or used a SNIP THE TIP. But, from postings it appears to be a way to get an adjustable tstat for the AUTO temp refers. MOVING the thermistor up and down in this case is USELESS. This procedure is indeed for Auto Temp refers. BUT, it only changes the temp by about 4 degrees MAX.

The OP has 28/29 degrees, which indicates a faulty Thermister. Doug
PS, YES, for the cost of a Thermister, I would replace myself rather than waste gas and time taking the RV into a warranty center.
