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 receiver 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.

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.

The remote sensors quit working when the batteries freeze.
It is a very common problem in winter in the upper Midwest and other places where below zero (F) temperatures are common.
