Just thought I would let others know that the digital thermostats that are now being used have been know to throw off an E2 error code.   Usually this can be reset by taking power off of the trailer for a short time (3-4 min).

It appears that in extreme heat this code will not reset and it is required that the thermostat be cooled down in some way, by fanning or some other means to reset the error. 

Dometic is aware of the problem and are in the process of resolving the issue.

So taking off power as in disconnecting the batteries or can we just flip a fuse rocker? I'll have to check next time I'm in there...

You must remove any source of 12v power to reset thermostat.

Also,  the problem has been resolved and the digital thermostat from Dometic will need to be replaced.

Dealers are starting to receive the new thermostats already.

I got the E2 code while camping in Oklahoma at a casino KOA. The inside of the Rpod was 105 degrees (110 outside). After calling the dealership and speaking with a tech, he said to cool down the thermostat. A bag of ice did the trick, but I was one hot and unhappy camper.

We just received our 2013 171 and have the old style thermostat.  Anyone replaced the old style thermostat with the new digital, and why?

If you cannot set the fan to AU in the fan mode then there is a problem with the t stat.   As long as the fan mode is set to Hi or Lo the fan on the A/C unit will run during furnace mode.

I would try disconnecting power from the battery and shore power (if you have that plugged in) and see if that resets the t stat.

The digital t stat is not interchangeable with the other t stats with the switches on them.
