Questions about digital thermostat

Most people in this old thread say yes, more cycling.

See if you can find one with an adjustable hysteresis.

You have only two choices: :@

A greater fluctuation in temperature and less furnace cycling. Or less fluctuation in temperature and but more frequent cycling which a digital thermostat will give you. Doesn't matter the type of camper or RV.

Thank you, that old thread helps.

I have both - digital in my 2004 Bigfoot Class C and analog, slider thermostat in my new NL cabover camper. I MUCH prefer the digital and am going to upgrade the analog in the NL to digital. I've never found that the digital cycles too much, but do find that the analog does a lousy of job of keeping a consistent temperature. I consider the thermostat the weakest component of the otherwise exceptional Northern Lite design.

I have insulated coaches, so that helps consistency. If you're in a non-insulated coach, temperature is going to be harder to maintain for either type of thermostat.

Digital will give you better temperature hold with more cycling, but Murphy law says you will need to replace batteries in the middle of the night and if it fails, it is going to be Friday night.
You can improve old thermostat response by directing more air flow toward it.

All you would have to do is make sure the digital stat you are looking at has a cycles per hour adjustment. On even the cheep Honeywells you can set the cph from one to nine. This will not help much with the temperature swing but you would have more control over it.

Not many/any convert from digital to analog thermostats - nuff said?
