| Does anyone have any Indoor/Remote Outdoor Thermometer recommendations? The cheap Dometic thermostat does not seem to show the actual ambient cabin temperature. Also, I would really like to know the outside temp as well. I am planning on using the type that has the wireless outdoor sensor, so I can get an accurate reading by locating it somewhere under the Rpod. Just wondering what brands/models people have tried. |

I installed this from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Clock-Thermometer-Voltage-Meter/dp/B00M6INHGI?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 I don't think they've got this specific unit any longer, but probably have something similar. It works well except the display needs to be seen head on. In addition to inside/outside temps it also displays battery voltage and time/date (and acts as an alarm clock). I installed over the bed on the kitchen side of my 178. I was able to tap to the furnace 12v source under the sink and mount the external temperature probe outside by skirting the wire through the slide. |

I'm going quick and easy with this one. I ran to Lowe's at lunch and they had a pretty good selection. I want to mount the display right above the HVAC thermostat, so I know the true temp in that exact spot, so I got one of the very basic units with a wireless outdoor sensor ($16). This way if the sensor some how gets destroyed by road debris, I haven't lost much of an investment. ------------- |

We installed our outside sensor beside the door with velcro. When we are leaving a campsite we remove the sensor and store it inside. Safe Travels. ------------- Camper Bob and Camper Sue Gracie the Wonder Dog (12 LB. Mini Dachshund) 2013 Rpod 171HRE(ORPod) 2016 Lance 1685 2015 Nissan Pathfinder |

I have a great recommendation for you~Hope I can help you!! I bought a http://www.fulljion.com/large-display-digital-temperature-humidity-thermometer-home-comfort-monitor.html - multifunctional humidity meter few months ago，which with date, week, time, humidity, temperature, alarm clock, and back light. It also a perfect for travel, home and outdoor use, which is convenient to carry.I think it's worth buying one.And the reason I choose digital one is that I can have lots of functions in this small humidity meter,it is really convenient~If you want to know more about my humidy meter, I can give you the official website~Hope I can help you solve your problem~
