Yes the remote sensors work well for many things. When using them in the refer and freezer I've found they work best when put in the door and in the side of the doors towards wherever the main reveiver is. The first time I used them I put them in the bottom of the freezer under everything and it didn't like transmitting through the frozen food plus the metal sides of the freezer all of the time.
They did seem to be particuar to batteries also. They didn't care for the Sanyo Enlopes rechargeable batteries. I may have that name slightly wrong as the batteries are in the MH and I'm not.
Also, the brand we bought (again they're in the MH) on the remotes you were able to buy both ones with and without cords on them. The senors were on the ends of the cords of those units. This type of sensor works very well for outside temps. Install the remote itself inside where it will stay warm and dry, then run the cable out the dash down so it hangs an inch or two below the front bumper. This keeps it from picking up heat from the MH.
And buy and extra sensor or two before your model becomes outdated, you can usually order them on line. Nothing like getting everything set up the way you want it and then one of them quits working in a year or two.
