Love your rv thermostat.
I love my rv and would like to help you love yours too.

Adding to its versatility i liked that it can work to control both the furnace and air conditioner.

By installing a digital model i get much more precise temperature control.
I liked that this model is a top choice in its class for its usefulness.
On the control board there are option switches for celsius fahrenheit and another for using the unit with an lp gas or electric type furnace.
Our rv has two locations for our fuses one in the cabin but these are mostly automotive fuses and one in the back.
In the past nine years we have logged over 80 000 miles and enjoyed hundreds of amazing locations.
