Recently, I installed a digital thermostat (Honeywell RTH-221, (< $20.00 at Home Depot) in my travel trailer and was very pleased at how much better it was at maintaining a consistent temperature in the trailer.
However, I have just discovered that when the interior of the trailer gets below freezing, the thermostat will not come on until it is warmed up to above 32 degrees F. I suppose I could modify this one with a bypass switch....but why .... Can anyone recommend a digital thermostat that, without modifications, will allow the RV furnace to come on when the thermostate is below freezing? Thanks, Steve |

Hi Steve,
Where I live it gets to -40. Even LI batteries don't tolerate that particularly well. -------------------- Regards,
