I've searched, both on here and online , high and low trying to find an aftermarket replacement thermostat that I can control from the confines of my nice, warm bed rather than getting up in the cold morning and turning up the furnace. DW and I both like to sleep under the covers with the ambient temp rather on the cool side.We have a '15 StarCraft AR-One that has the very plain Attwood Hydro Flame Furnace thermostat is for heat only. I've found a couple of r/c tstats but only for both heating and cooling. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!

Most any R/C thermostat will work.Just ignore the AC function

Also maybe a programmable one...Lot of inexpensive options out there that will work..Set it to have the heat go on about a half hour before you get up.

Not exactly what you are asking for, but it is cheap. We depend on the bedding to keep us warm at night but don't like to get up in the cold. I took the existing thermostat a part and attached wires inside to the on/off switch contacts and ran them to a spot I could reach from bed and installed a mini-toggle switch. The wires can be very thin not much current flowing. I leave the thermostat set to a reasonable temperature and the on/off switch set to off. Now I wake up and if it feels a little cold, I just reach out and flip the toggle switch and take a short nap till the temperature is about right.

we just installed a programmable thermostat set for 45 at night and have the trailer at 68 by 8am. works fine.might be easier than a remote thermostat

I like the toggle switch idea but the thermostat is on the opposite end of the trailer from the bed. Not sure my better half would like wires run across the length of the trailer.I'll have to look into the programmable thermostats. Haven't even thought about that.I just find it hard to believe no one makes a remote for just heat only. I have a very simple set up and thought this would something easy to find.Appreciate everyone's response!
