Well, Doug, the problem is not temp control, but the fact that the furnace was popping on and off, less than a second, a few times before staying on. I was worried that this would screw something up.
This would seem to me to be a pretty good indication you have an issue with the furnace itself, particularly if it's worked properly up 'til now, in which case fudging the thermo anticipator would hardly be the correct solution.

The SIMPLE way to "fix" this type problem---You like 70 degrees in the RV but it seems the RV gets to 71/72. Just set the tstat at 68 degrees and forget attempting to adjust the Anticipator. Sorry, but this type problem is NOT a problem. Just people trying to waste their time obsessing over something. In 38 years as a tech, I have NEVER had to or had a customer state he seemed to have a problem with the furnace that required the anticipator be adjusted. Also, since the majority of Wall RV tstats are electronic, that stops this type problem and has for over 25 years. Doug

Once the anticipator was set I saw no reason not to use the mechanical stat, no need for a fancy digital one when the mechanical one worked so well sans batteries.

A Furnace Anticipator is just a simple way to TURN THE BURNER OFF before the RV reaches the set temp.
BTW, some electronic Tstat control systems CAN and do have an anticipator adjustment.
