Ours is a late model 2015 Grandby. I wonder whether DesertDave is satisfied with the replacement he put in a year ago...maybe take a look at that.

Great post Richland and thanks for reference...I assume you thermostat is the White-Rodgers 1E-78?

It's the same as the one Old Crow linked to, White-Rodgers 1E78-140, and the same as the pic in the second post of this thread.

Yes I am.  I did a repeat of the trip that motivated me to change the stat last year.  It worked like a champ at keeping things above freezing when I was sleeping.

To keep everyone updated. I slept in the 2015 Eagle last night. It was 30 in the camper. I turned the heat on for 5 or 10 minutes and it still was only at like 34. I did a reset and then it showed 43. Seems like the reset fixed it.

 

I just ordered this thermostat http://www.amazon.co...duct/B00H6ARNXO which you can set to garage mode so it'll work from 35-90 degrees. I'll keep you posted.

I slept in my 2014 Eagle last night. Temp got down into the teens. Thermostat worked fine after it got warmed up. I did try a reset, but I had forgotten until things were fairly warm. Bumped the temp up a bit, so I can see it would be useful to stabilize the system faster. I expect it just resets the thermistor and the microcontroller., and I expect more expensive models have a better microcontroller than can handle rapidly changing temps better.

 

I've never done a reset in the past and it has always worked fine, just slow to level out when it's really cold.

Yep, and to be clear. My themostat works fine as well. Once it is up to the correct temp it works great, just takes forever to reach that temp

I was looking at that Honeywell thermostat as well.  Please let us know how it works for you.

Stalking Light,

 

 What temp did you set the thermostat to in your #56 post?  Did you leave that setting on all night?

 

Outside temp was?  And no water froze...that is good news.

 

Thanks...trying to get a handle on the mechanics of all this.

Temp was set to 62 all night. Water tanks were emptied and I just had some bottled water inside. Outside temp was high teens at the lowest, low 20's when I got up. The starting temp inside before I turned the heat on was in the low 40's. I let the furnace run until it felt warm enough inside and then turned it off like I usually do to let things equalize. That's when I remember the reset so I tried it and the temp reset from 40 something to 58. Then I let things run and the thermostat worked fine after that. Normally I just wait until the thermostat temp reading comes up on its own, which take a little longer - but in my REagle I'm usually sitting right by the thermostat anyway, can't get too far away from anything in there.
