Mounting an outdoor sensor

[amxpress]

We have an indoor/outdoor thermometer mounted on the wall next to DW's chair. I place the outdoor sensor under the right slide on a ledge. Unfortunately, I have sometimes forgot to bring it in when breaking camp. 3 sensors later I figured I should permanently mount the outdoor sensor outdoors; but where and how? Should I place it in a plastic sandwich baggie and zip tie it to my bike rack? If you have an outdoor sensor, where and how did you mount it?

Mine came with a mounting clip. I epoxied 2 rate earth magnets to the clip and mounted it on the trailer hitch receiver.

If it's an "outdoor sensor", why does it need to be protected at all?

Wrapped in Ziploc and zip tied to a bar where the steps are at. So far going on 4 years.

We use this: Ambient Weather WS-10 Wireless Indoor/Outdoor 8-Channel Thermo-Hygrometer with Three Remote Sensors with 2 additional sensors.
I placed a sensor in the fridge, freezer, pinbox, converter/inverter box, & a bulbed sensor in the basement with the bulb hung between the tanks.

Our wireless sensor is wrapped in plastic and zip tied to the sewer hose. The sewer hose provides shade and I figured we wouldn't forget it. We have another one in the wet bay so we can monitor the temperature in the winter.

Mine is zip-tied to a hydraulic line behind the door where the propane tank is located.

Mine is inside the refrigerator vent away from the heat producing components. It's wedged into a space near the electrical outlet.

While I realize this is not for everyone, I mounted my outdoor thermometer on the wall adjacent to the refrigerator. Then I removed the refrigerator, ran the sensor wires down to the floor, drilled a hole through the floor, and mounted the sensor under the camper. It really works well.

Then my brother asked, "Why didn't you just install a wireless sensor like I did?"

Mine is velcroed to the spare tire, under the cover, BIL has his velcroed to wires in the 5th wh. pin box

Heavy duty velcro up in the hitch, out of the weather. Just make sure wasps haven't found it and decided to build a nest when you have to replace the batteries.
