Jayco Melbourne 2019....same problem here. I'm going to givethis a try, I have all the materials here at home already. I REALLY WANT TO KEEP the ORIGINAL THERMOSTAT....My Reasoning is we all camp differently. I also like to go in the deep back woods of the North East Boondocking. It may sound small but LED READOUT and battery energy conservation. I have already switched my smoke alarm, Carbon monoxide/propane alarms to battery...IT DID MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Another example is wired LED LIGHT at entry door....simple battery powered motion light. It all adds up.
Thanks for watching and hope it works for you. We also do some "light" boon docking and understand how power management is important. We added solar and lithium for that. Safe travels!
Can't believe what a simple fix! Thx very much
Thanks for watching!. I was surprised by what I found was going on behind the thermostat. Simple makes all the difference sometimes.
Even if you do not want to switch out the thermostat, just simply adding the insulation and tape will dramatically improve the A/C performance.
Thanks for the video I hope it helps with my issue and hope to see more
I hope so too!
Splendid idea! Installation is the key. Thanks
It sure is!
Hello! I have the same problem with my thermostat , it is the original 2004 RV still, sliding) very old so I will order the new one and I will change, thanks !!sir
Did it work?
wonderful video! I went on a trip north this past week, and hit unexpected freezing temps at night in Oregon in the truck stops. My furnace would come on if the thermostat could read above 50F, but once that 15 year old manual slider thermostat was below what it considered a temperature, it would NOT kick on, hence I froze my butt off during the night. I could hear it try, the furnace clicked, but the blower would not come on. Also, when I had the thing working, it would Not stop at the 75F I had it set, but keep cooking me into the 90's. After watching this I have a pretty clear idea what is going on. The Thermostat shares a wall with the back of the fridge. Constant heat generated behind the fridge anyone?!
Costa thanks for watching. This was an amazing discovery that has made life more comfortable in the trailer! Insulate behind the thermostat and tape off hole the wires pass through and I think you will once again be happy with you camper!
Brilliant! Mine is on my bathroom wall and bathroom has skylight and it’s always hot in there.
Thanks for watching
My RV repairman told me I couldn't change out the old thermostat with the inaccurate slider for one like you installed that gives an actual temperature. Was he wrong?
He may have been talking abut adapting a residential thermostat which can be tricky. The Thermostat we use is specifically made for the RV A/C and is very easy to install. We have been using it on the road now for close to 10k miles and it has performed flawlessly. Thanks for watching.
@@OurCoupledAdventure thanks for replying. I forgot he also told me it had to be a Coleman Mach just like the one that is there
@@sharoncook3063 We made the upgrade to the Coleman Mack digital and it worked well. We took it to the next step with the Easy Touch RV thermostat that gave us Bluetooth connectivity with our phone. We can adjust temp from outside, inside, watching TV or in bed. We also have the option of connecting the thermostat to the internet via WiFi so we can check temp (for cats) and adjust from anywhere.
Does it control more than one ac unit? I have separate ac and heat controls. 2004 Pace Arrow
That I do not know. The website, micro air .net has a good FAQ section. Thanks for watching.
Here it is. Found it.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
You do good work... Like the thought process going on..
Thanks tommyd688 and thanks for watching. That little find and fix really changed how the A/C works in the RV!
How do I determine heat strip or no heat strip?
One of the selections for the mode selector switch will say "elec. heat" on your current thermostat.
I just purchased the thermostat you removed. I'm going to seal the wall back of the therm. I've seen others have the inconsistency of climate with this unit. How did you conclude that fixing the wall problem will also work this unit. (The analog)
I just subscribe to your channel loved the hack on the thermostat keep up the great video
Thanks so much Ted! Happy camping!👍
My airxcel thermastat will not read the room temp or go above 37 what can I do
Thanks for watching Jeff. My only suggestion would be to confirm the wiring. Beyond that IDK. Could be a defective unit. Maybe somebody passing through here may have a suggestion.
Is it in Celsius mode?
Thermostat is now $99.99 on amazon.
Link for new thermostat, please?
I bought it on Amazon. The model number is listed in the video. Thanks for watching and happy Adventures!
You say I'll put a link for the thermostat below ? Guess ya changed you mind ! I changed my mind about subscribing !
