Any help would be appreciated. I had an Atwood thermostat in a 2003 jayco designer camper.
The atwood thermostat has died.
I bought a Coleman mach thermostat For now i want to hook up the Mach thermostat for air conditioning
The old thermostat had 7 wires coming out of the wall.
3 wires came from the furnace as follows:
1 red supplying 12 v current{a smaller diameter wire}
1 white {common}
1 white larger wire

There is another bundle enclosed in a gray sheath. They are small diameter thermostat wires
1 red {power}
1 blue{compressor)
1 green (fan)
1 white (common)

The new thermostat has the following:
B(12volt-)Blue
R(12 volt+)Red
Y(Cooling)Yellow
W(heat)
GH(High fan) Green
GL(Low fan)Gray)

What wire do I hook together to be able to use the air conditioner?

Can you post a number off the Atwood tstat? Can you also post the Model Number of your Furnace? When OEM's used the Atwood tstat, it was because the furnace was a 2 speed furnace. It required the Atwood Tstat to operate the furnace correctly. That is why you have extra wires on your existing wiring. Doug

Assuming your functional descriptions are correct (perhaps they are labeled?)

Connect both commons to B
Connect both reds to R
Connect the larger white wire to W
Connect compressor to Y
Connect fan to GH and GL
