Wireless Outdoor Thermometer

[Healeyman]

I have ordered THIS Wireless Indoor/Outdoor thermometer set. It has one sensor/transmitter and 3 receiver displays.

Where to place the Inside readouts is pretty straightforward: 1 over the bed, 1 next to the wall clock in the living room, and 1 on the dashboard.

I'm trying to think of a good place to mount the Outside sensor/transmitter?

I was thinking about under the overhang, above and behind the drivers door.

Where would YOU place it?

Good question - one I didn't think to ask. I just purchased one and have not yet mounted it. My plan is to mount it in a spot where it can be semi permanent (mobile but removable). Good ideas here.

I keep mine mobile and usually bungy it to the underside of the passenger mirror arm.

We have something similar and have the sensor mounted on the rear underneath one of the signal lights (creates a little overhang to protect it a bit.) Over 4000 miles and so far so good.

I also have mine mounted in the wet bay to monitor freezing temps, and know when there is need to turn furnace up to prevent freezing.

I put mine on top of my curb side tire. I can reach it easily from the step area and it isn't where it can get wet, it is out of the sun, and it isn't able to get any false readings from my trailer.

I do have to remember to pick it up prior to moving.

I keep one in the utility compartment. To monitor freezing temps in there.

Well, you want to avoid a place that will get any direct sunlight, which would give you a false temperature reading. The space under the overhang may be OK, but it may also radiate absorbed heat, if the metal on the cab gets hot.

You could try mounting it in different places for awhile, to see if it makes a difference?

My first thought was to mount it under the RV, but away from any exhaust or other source of heat.

Maybe I'm over-thinking this? Does it really matter if it's off by a few degrees? You are just trying to get a feel for what the temperature is outside, not break it down to the fractional degree, right?
Your spot on the cab is probably fine:)

Do you have a wet bay in a class C? In my class A one goes in the wet bay.
