And this is the big benefit.

For us the AC is more in the heat. We have a 3 minute wait with Honeywell.
Acadia - We use to have a Fork Lift for peaches on a 8N ford and a 9n Fergie.

He responds that he can't tell till he gets the new thermo and determines whether he has to reconfigure the AC wiring. If not necessary, very small job, but if necessary much labor to run wires. Do not want to pay big dollar for thermo then find that it is another big bill for installation. The Atwood part # is 1053-1 38555. Has anyone done this mod? I am not hung up on Atwood, but would sure like to find one that is quickly compatible with my Suburband furnace and Dometic roof air. My current thermo controls both, so the wiring is there.

Check here, looks like MikeA may have a solution.

I recently replaced my "Dometic" thermostat with a "Hunter" from Wally-World, cost of about $20. The old unit would continue to run long after the set-point for either A/C or heat had been reached. I had to play a bit with the wiring as my old one was a six wire set-up and the new one only used four wires. I did not add the extra switch for "Hi/Lo" fan as the low speed was enough. Odd thing was the green wire turned out to be the "HOT" wire in all this. I did not use the "RED" nor "BROWN" wire on the new unit. All is well now.

I installed a Hunter Programmable Digital T-stat in our last 3 campers. Takes about 10 minutes. FYI I put in the hi/lo fan speed switch but leave it on high mostly.
