Arrived quickly and in great condition. Wiring a little different than our previous one but my husband was able to figure it out. It was exactly like my old one and was just what I needed for the air conditioner/furnace to run correctly.
This thermostat never worked right. I should have returned it. Well worth the wait to save the money, over the over-priced RV store.English Bulldog Puppies For Sale Craigslist Missing screws lugs to tighten thermostat wires.

For Coleman Roof Air and Suburban Furnace, see the RV Thermostat Guide Part 2. A lot of campers come with an old fashioned analog thermostat like the one pictured here. The problem with them is the temperature range before they cycle on or off.
A digital thermostat has a tighter degree of control (+/- 1 degree of temperature change before it cycles "on" or "off"), a digital readout, and no guesswork about what temperature it is actually set at. Features we all like to have... Like many others before us, we decided to swap out our analog thermostat for a nice digital one. Many digital thermostats that will run on batteries will work as a suitable replacement. We decided on a simple, inexpensive model... the Hunter model 42995. That model is obsolete, but this Honeywell model will work just as well. First we have to remove the old thermostat. For safety reasons, make sure everything is turned off and you are not connected to shore power. Also disconnect the negative cable from your main batteries. Pop the cover off of the thermostat and remove the screws that hold it in place. You'll see a set of colored wires connected to the thermostat. Using a small screwdriver, disconnect the wires from the thermostat and make sure they do not contact each other during this entire process.
Tape off the blue and red wire, they will not be used. Next, attach the remaining wires as per the picture below. Brown wire to G, white wire to W, yellow wire to Y and green wire to Rh. Keep the jumper between Rh and Rc in place. Wiring in this manner will allow operation of the furnace and A/C with the fan on the "low" setting. Since the Hunter thermostat doesn't have a Hi/Lo fan switch, you won't be able to switch anyway and if your unit is like ours, there is virtually no difference in airflow between the settings. Fasten the back plate to the wall using as many screws as you feel are necessary. We used 2 but you can use up to 4. Make sure it is level before you make holes in your wall. Once you are satisfied with the mounting of the back plate and all screws are tight, pop the main thermostat unit into place. Ours went in bottom first then the top snapped in. Open the little doors on the unit and make sure the switch is set to OFF, then install 2 alkaline AA batteries as shown.
Reconnect the negative cable to your batteries and plug in to shore power again. Press and hold either the UP or DOWN arrow until the display blinks. Now tap an arrow to increase or decrease the temperature setting. Once it shows the temperature setting you want, stop pushing the buttons and after a second or two, the display will stop blinking. Set the fan to AUTO and select either HEAT or COOL. You are now ready to go. Make sure you keep spare batteries with you at all times because if your batteries go dead, you cannot operate your furnace or air conditioner!

The standard analog thermostat found in most RVs doesn’t control the A/C and furnace with much accuracy. The “set” temperature is not always the temperature the thermostat cycles, which results in as much as a +/- 5°F temperature change before the A/C or furnace cycles on or off. This is known as the hysteresis of the thermostat. For example, if you have the furnace set at 72°F, this could mean the temperature would fall to 67°F before cycling on and rise to 77°F before cycling off! These temperature swings aren’t very comfortable so what to do? The digital thermostat mod of course. Analog thermostats have what’s called a mechanical heat anticipator, which essentially tells the thermostat when to cycle. Some anticipators are more accurate than others but for the most part are not very good at controlling temperatures accurately. The digital thermostat is much better at temperature control since it controls its hysteresis using electronics to within +/- 1°F degree of accuracy.
