The SIMPLE way to "fix" this type problem---You like 70 degrees in the RV but it seems the RV gets to 71/72. Just set the tstat at 68 degrees and forget attempting to adjust the Anticipator. Sorry, but this type problem is NOT a problem. Just people trying to waste their time obsessing over something. In 38 years as a tech, I have NEVER had to or had a customer state he seemed to have a problem with the furnace that required the anticipator be adjusted. Also, since the majority of Wall RV tstats are electronic, that stops this type problem and has for over 25 years. Doug
Well, Doug, the problem is not temp control, but the fact that the furnace was popping on and off, less than a second, a few times before staying on. I was worried that this would screw something up.
I set the anticipator to 8, and that seemed to work. However, in the middle of the night, I still heard a second or so of blowing and it would shut off for a couple of seconds, then come on and stay on. Not every time but once in a while.
I was thinking of upping the anticiptor a half amp or so, to see if it eliminated the on and off phenomenon.
