   Having problems with my thermostat. The heater was working then later I turned on the heat and the 
air conditioner started running at the same time. I messed with the thermostat and I fixed it some how.
Now both come on at the same time again. Pretty sure I need to reset the thermostat. How is this done?
I am in Fife any thoughts on getting it serviced. 
I have a 2015 forest river r pod I purchased it last spring and only used it as a construction site hang out.
The house is built any one want to purchase it. I bought it from the original owner it looks brand new.

	I think the fix is, set the fan to " auto " and then it will work properly i think.

	FR needs to put a big sticker next to the thermostat with this information. How many people have unknowingly fallen into this trap?

	On our last trip I finally figured out there was and AUTO setting. Makes a ton of difference.

	Ok I sent the fan to auto, now the air does not come in when I turn it to heat but now the furnace just blows cold air. Again before I got the thermostat all fouled up it was working fine

	Well, setting fan to auto is definately the right setting. Cold air sounds like no flame, (check its igniting) or temp set to low, or you need to wait a few minutes before warm air starts to come out. Thats my best , sorry

	Last week it was not cool enough in our 2016 R179 and the AC cut off even when set on 55. The outside temp was less than 80 so I figure we'll die in our sleep this summer. After reading in this thread about the Auto setting on the thermostat, I changed it from Lo to Auto. Questions: (1) Might this have fixed my problem?; and (2) Is there a way to have the fan only when the temp is OK but we need to drown out yapping dogs and loud music from neighbors? BTW, no problem, but I cannot tell the difference in noise or air flow on the Lo or Hi settings.

	I have a similar problem. With the thermostat set on Cold, and the temperature setting at 80 degrees, I find the air conditioner coming on when the inside temperature is 65 or lower. We never use the propane heater, so I don't want to put it on Auto and have the heater come on. Why would the AC want to cool Our Pod below 65 degrees?

	I wish I could help. It took me several trips before I found the thermostat had an auto. Works perfect. Do you have you gas on for you heater would be my only question. In 5 days of camping last week we went from one day 70 hi/ 50 low. Rained all day one day and stayed in the mid 50’s. Sayurday was 70 plus the 32 that night. It worked fine. I think the AC does too good of job at times. Maybe when it is 90 plus I all appreciate it more. I had to twerk it a few times but a bunch better than running all the time.
