Yet another thermostat upgrade question

I purchased non-programmable Honeywell thermostat and still confused on how to connect it in my Heartland Wilderness 3150DS.
The model of the new t-stat is RTH5100B.

There are 6 wires in my TT connected to Coleman-Mach analog t-stat. I decided not to install additional switch for Hi/Low fan operation to simplify the installation. I can always add it later as long as I can identify all the wires.

Here are the wires that are coming out of the wall.

Red
Yellow
White
Brown (Connected to Grey)
Green
Blue

I know I need to connect White and Yellow but Iโ€™m really confused about the rest of the wires. Some posts saying not to use Blue and Green others are saying not to use Red.

The new โ€“t-stat has the following connections:

Rc
R
Y
Not used
W
G

I would appreciate any help with this mod.

Nothing conflicting......

One is for a Dometic (DuoTherm) and one is for a Coleman-Mach

Two different A/C Units.......different wiring configuration
Is it time for your medication or mine?

Looks like we have conflicting diagrams here but I will need to follow Coleman Mach diagram because this is what I'm replacing...

if you dont wasnt low speed tape off all other wires


Assuming Green wire to G connector and tape off Blue and Grey. Did I get it right?


Correct.......
Blue (12 neg) is not used and Grey is for low fan speed (would need switch to use Grey & Green)

I used this...(but also added the hi/lo fan option). Worked perfectly.
