Can you recommend a good digital thermometer that will let me know the inside and outside temps? Hopefully one that has a wireless outside meter? Thanks!

CW has several; I just bought this one to replace a B/W, non-backlit model. The outdoor module is zip-tied to the frame underneath my TT. http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/wireless-color-station/74812

Wal Mart has several. I prefer the wired outdoor sensor, as you do not need a second battery that is transmitting, and the indoor unit does not need to run a radio receiver all the time too. . Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, all have wired and wireless indoor outdoor thermometers. Some have humidity too, also very handy to know. . .I can slip my outdoor sensor through the space where the windows slide together, and it stays on all the time, even while driving. I used to have a wireless one, and would hang it from the outdoor bracket that I also could hang my gas lantern, but many times would forget it there when I drove off (it hung on good in 65 MPH winds on the freeway). . Currently I have a wired outdoor sensor in my bedroom. There is a space below the nightstand for air to return to the living area from the basement (to allow heat in there) and down to the basement door, outside, and secured to the framework there. However it will read 120+ when driving, I am guessing the engine radiator heat? So it is most accurate after being parked for 30 minutes. Good luck,Fred.

Harbor freight has one. I use one to tell the inside temp of the camper and the other is mounted in the fridge. Way more accurate than the fridge thermometers out there

have one from walmart under $10 IIRCbumpy

We have the Acu-Rite wireless. the outside part is velcroed to the under side of the wing and has riden there many miles. seems to be very accurate. I think we bought it at walmart.

I bought a couple of extra transmitters. It comes with 3, and can take up to 8. It continuously displays 4, and you have to manually cycle to see the others.

Also bought an extra console for the truck cab, since the truck doesn't have a outdoor temp gauge.

We just got a cheap wireless one $10. On the outside one I mounted a magnet on and just put it in box.

We have several Taylor in/outdoor thermometers (cheap from local hardware). Pretty accurate and several years old. Works well but setup is quirky and changing the batteries in remote senders takes a screwdriver.
One, wireless remote used in the camper refrigerator. Nice just glancing at refer temp.

The other in camper has a hardwired sender thats by dinette. I ran along window sill into cabinet and into refer outside compartment. The probe is next to grill opening. Gets outside air and unaffected by refer while being protected from direct sun/rain.

Margaret has one in the house, because all are set to channel 1, when its remote batteries get low it'll start reading the camper which is closer. (Or when temp doesnt change its time to change her batteries:) The remote units take up to 3 senders.

Jim, Keep in mind that there is the possibility that the product coming off the assembly line today may very well NOT be the same quality that was produced 5 years ago. Yes, I am talking about the remote sensor. Chuck

Bummer, guess you are talking about the remote sensor..

My remote sensor is out of the elements in the area of my holding tanks... That is the area I want to monitor.. Think my Accurite system is well over 5 years old and have replaced the batteries on the remote 2 or 3 times.

I have a TempMinder from Camping World with three wireless sensor modules and a builtin sensor. Saves Min/Max temps for all four but otherwise doesn't do much else.

It was invaluable recently to see what the temps were as it was freezing outside. When at camp I left one on the truck bumper, another in the valve compartment and the third in the outside shower compartment. When travelling we moved the outside one into the basement. I was surprised that even the shower compartment stayed about 5-10 degrees above outside temp. So now I know that for a few hours anyway I'm ok travelling at 27F without having to winterize.

The wireless works with the station in the camper or the truck or in my living room with the camper in the driveway so range is good. Don't know how long the batteries will last. One month so far.

I just use a basic indoor/outdoor with wireless remote from Cabela's that I picked up for around $15.00. I use a velcro strip on the back of my camper near the door for the remote (hopefully less chance of forgetting it's out there).
