Thermostat Changeout

[Racefan1]

I know that this subject has come up several times, but I would like a little additional advice.

I have a two year old Forest River trailer with a very poor quality thermostat. I have wanted to do a change out since I got it, but I not having great electrical knowledge, was always a little intimidated about doing it.

The time has come, to get it done. the current thermostat is a Dometic (model #3107546) Can anybody advise me as to what make and model of thermostat they have used as a replacement. I want to go to a digital unit. As well, any type of explanation or diagram of the install would be fantastic. Thank you for your help in advance.

Dometic digital replacement

Sorry, not programmable. But the High/Low fan is automatic.

Thanks for the links, Wiscampsin. l like the write up in the 3rd one, and the whole thread following is a good read.

My goal is to get a programmable unit since I want the system to automatically ramp up at say 5:00AM and then 'slow down' at 11:00 PM - bid of set and forget operation. At first I was also wanting auto changeover but choices are limited and cost is high. I do want to retain the Hi-Low fan capability living here in the South.

Looking forward to a good discussion here. Shout out to the OP - l lived in Saint John for many years working at the Shipyard there. Moncton is a cool place and we visited it occasionally.

I used the instructions from the link on LAdams' profile page, here. Found it to be very helpful, even though I'm not electrically inclined either.
