MOUNTING LOCATION FOR TEMP SENSOR ?

Mine is wireless with a wind speed indicator and temp sensor in one. I drive a small metal stake in the ground and slide a piece of aluminum tubing over the stake/ The sensor is mounted to the top of the tube.....and the tube is approx. 3' tall. I have a range of about 30' for the sensor to work with the inside dislay.

I just dangle mine out of a window away from the sun.
Once in Quartzsite I hung mine out of the bottom on the door and much to my surprise it was gone the next morning. I can only guess that one of the many little Pack Rats used it to spruce up his underground home.
I don't like the wireless because of the replacing of the second set of batteries.
Not because of price but because of the trouble of laying on the ground to get to them. My unit with one set of batteries can be disabled easily once I through camping for a while.

I have seen some on cars - wire running out the door front, sensor on the mirror arm.

We had one with the remote bulb. Our back window is an escape window. The bulb is weather proof, so I ran the cable/tube out the bottom of the window and used a piece of steel wire to fasten it to a window mounting screw. Then closed the window.

Some good suggestions but having a corded model means a hole and that's why we have a wireless. Our sensor is in the propane compartment.

i mounted mine on the ladder in the back of the m/h :)

Unless it's wet.

I got an indoor/outdoor electronic thermometor for Christmas. Comes with a 12 foot cord for outside sensor. Will put the box inside by fridge. My first thought was to put temp sensor under fridge roof vent. Now am thinking that would flaw the reading? Any thoughts?

I'm a little confused. Every indoor/outdoor thermometer I've seen in the last 10 years has been wireless and I'm wondering why you'd mount the box in your fridge?

What about under the toilot vent cap?

No! Under the toilet flap in the bowl - you know, the one that opens when you flush it :D

Oasisbob - WHAT do you need to measure? The hot exhaust air from the fridge - then put it into fridge exhaust vent. The temperature of you coach before landing there - then put it on the coach. If you need to measure the fridge temperature - then put it in the fridge. If the outside temperature - then clip it in the shade outside, but not in the vents where warmer air is coming out, maybe under the frame somewhere.
