New thermostat question?

My Lance 1181 came with a Atwood hydro flame 38535 dual stage thermostat and I see that is is no longer available. I have looked but I am not a digital kind of guy. I simply don't know what to get. Would this model work?

All done and it all works. I had to run the POS and NEG wires from stat to stat as the compressor was just clicking without the NEG wire. As soon as I attached it all was well. I pushed the crimps up inside the wall and just ran the wires behind both units. You can' see them unless you look for them. Hopefully this will give me a while longer before I have to get a new heater. I have looked at TT in the 20 to 30 thousand range but they are nothing compared to the build on my Lance 1181. Plus I have made this unit my home of sorts. Gonna be hard to let go but I'm getting tired of fixing every little thing. Thank you all for your input and help!!!

There is an AirXCEL thermostat with bluetooth. Now my wife and I don't have to fight to decide who's going to get out of bed to turn on the furnace in the morning. Can control heat, a/c, and fan from our phones.

Same issue on heat
not sure dont think it would operate the AC in high and low fan

The reason I changed my AC in my lance was to be able to run on a honda , Ive had several TC`s with polar cubs , but not made anymore so I put a mach 1 power saver model on that is comparable in amp draw
I put a control box and have it run on a wall stat so I could have auto fan mode that ceiling control units dont do , so the fan would shut off , when the compressor does , like yours does ,I dont need 24 hr set points .... and digital is just another thing to go out in my TC , keeping it simple

I think the Coleman 8330-3862 83303862 Digital Thermostat
you posted at first would work for AC only, but its black , seems like a lot isnt available right now -Covid? the white ones are sold out

Arxcel seems to be switching to different style of stats now

thermostats

But you`d need to call and see what would work - they have bluetooth now

This one looks like it would work with your AC also , not furnace

Cheapest one available looks like the analog cool only model

I hate to rock the boat but what do you make of this unit? Says it can be operated with batteries, 2 heat 1 cool?

The heater worked fine when I removed the jumper.

Might be easier to pull off interior trim for a label for the AC

Suggest you disable the ac at the stat and make sure the furnace runs if you havent already , if you remove one end of the yellow jumper wire from terminal 3 I think that would be enough to do it

hope it works out

Gonna check tomorrow on the A/C. The identifying labels on this camper disappeared long ago. Thanks for the stat. Check in tomorrow.

Your system should be set up for the A/C to use 12 volt control off the power from the furnace.

Do you have a coleman AC , you never said
You could mount the cool only stat close and run the wires behind not drilling a hole , wire it make sure it works first
Heres a cool only stat for coleman , analog , you already have a digital room temp on the other one .
Make sure your AC is on the list of compatible ones

Okan-Star were going with your plan! My job is to climb up on the roof and verify the A/C model as well as drill a hole and run some wires. Garrett will hook it up. Again you guys were great and knowledgeable. I'll let you know how it turns out.
