Unit is original equipment in a 2003 Roadtrek Class B. I doubt Roadtrek would knowingly manufacture anything inadequate, or more importantly something that might be a safety or fire hazard.
1. Not questioning your credentials, You appear to have access to information that I don't that may be beneficial to my situation.
2. We will have to agree to disagree on wire size needed. 12V @ 15A at can safely run 10 feet with 18 AWG nevermind 8 AWG. 8 AWG can support 150A (conservatively) at 7 feet.
12V AWG wire capacities3. I have 10 gauge wire (6 feet. 3 each way) to refer. More than adequate.
4. Unit is OEM to the motorhome. RM2453. I suspect a 2002-2003 manufacture date. No auto igniter. Piezo click to light.
Diagram here.That part number is the same one shown in my manual (assuming my manual is correct, which at this time is in doubt) but I don't know for certain if that is my thermostat or not. I don't have the refer out of the motor home at this time so I can't see it. According to the description in the auction, it "says" it is the correct one. I won't know until spring when the Wx warms up and I have time to remove the refer. It is a several hour job in these small class B units to remove the fridge.
Could it be the manual I am using is incorrect regarding the correct operation of the 3 modes?
Could it be the schematic diagram in the manual incorrect?
Thanks.
