Thermostat

Will this thermostat work in a travel trailer?

  • So people are installing these simple digital thermostats for the :
    - Digital indoor temperature readout?
    - Backlit display?
    - ???

    But you have to add a separate switch to control A/C fan speeds.

    Is it worth it?

    No question about it. Temperature control is much tighter than with any stock bi-metal thermo.

    So the furnace must turn off and on more frequently to maintain a more constant temperature?

    One other advantage for some of us Canadians would be to get a Centigrade scale I suppose.

    Don't think a remote is in our future. There are too many of them floating around the trailer already.;)
