Where to place outside temp remote?

[pcmentor29]

I now have a wireless thermometer for in/out temps. I placed the remote sending unit under the passenger side near the gasoline filler. I did not want it to get wet too close to the back of the wheels. The sun is shining on the outside where I put it and the temp was 85F when inside was 69F. Does anyone have a better place to mount it? Thanks, Pete

We just lay ours on the shelf under the door side slide. It's out of the sun and when the slide comes in it's safe for travel.

I velcro'd it to a spot on the steps where the sun don't shine and the rain does not reach. If you locate it too close to the RV, the heat from the RV will influence the temperature reading.

Same here

Thanks for all the great advice. Pete

Small class A, up under the hood in front of the Engine and radiators. Ours has a battery mount tray there, and lots of circulation so sun heat doesn't have much impact. When driving, lots of ambient air circulating, so we don't get too much road heat.

Best place I could find in my fiver was the propane tank enclosure. Tied down with tie wraps.

I placed mine in the LPG bay. I used wire to make a holding strap and mounted it to the wall, it is in the shade and out of the elements away from road spray. JMO

Mine is mounted on the side of the pin box. 🙂

I put mine in my LP bay, attached to the regulator cover. When we had our '86 Toy/Dolphin, I attached the sensor to the inside wall of the LP bay.

I like the pin box location, but found when it's real cold it still gets some radiant heat-I glue mine to a piece of steal behind my steps-it's part of the step frame-generally always shaded and really is separated from the body enough to limit most radiant heat.

I don't have a picture of the remote sensor holder I made, but it is on the back of the pin box where I made a cover to keep the birds from nesting in there.



I located it above the junction box and made it so I can take the remote sensor and put it inside the trailer when on the road.

We put the outside one on the X Chocks between the wheels of the fifth wheel. The sun does not get to it, and we can't forget it.

I put mine in the back part of the king pin housing. Out of the sun and weather, and I remember to put it away when hitching up.
