This mod gives you a hard wired factory appearance that once installed there are no batteries to worry about or some gaudy looking mismatched display.
Call it a rant but this is one of the reasons I don't start to many threads because of people clogging them up with repetitive nonsense. You made multiple posts pushing the same item. We get it already.

I just received my displays today. I have to agree, this is a modded thread and agree that I do not want batteries or a desire to watch my temps from the truck. There is nothing wrong of giving your suggestions but repeated attempts to follow your way is, well unwanted. This is a great mod and look forward to getting it done this week.
Thanks again!

Finished up my fridge mod this weekend. Displays only took a week to ship from China.
I too like the simplicity of this mod when completed.

Do you think this would work on an Atwood Helium frig? I need to go look at the top panel on mine.

I tried but it's not showing up. I ran it out the corner on the hinge side and into the box. It's retained in the corners and covered with strategically placed black Gorilla Tape. Not even noticable.

Looks good! I'm not caring so much for mine. They are a graph/digits and I think freezer only. And there seems no way of changing it from celsius. Do you have a link to yours?

If yours are similar to mine there should be a tiny black plastic plug that you remove from the back, then it will read Fahrenheit.

I installed the style with the large numerical readout ( http://ebay.com/itm/Digital-Thermome...-/110953483704 ) and they seem like a much better unit, plus they are much easier to read. They have been working great.

I ordered the same ones klspahr did in post #73. l liked the larger readout. They were $10 each. I did verify the 12vdc was in the same locations on the control circuit board as was in the photos.

I did figure out to pull the caps to get Fahrenheit. One of them is reading real low, the other is fine. I'll have China replace it. I ordered two of the large displays from Cali for $8 each to replace the ones I have.
I'm going to tap to the circuit board as well. It will make it easier to remove the panel in the future.

We bought a wireless thermostat. It has 2 monitors, freezer and fridge, that clip. For the outside monitor, it has magnets. It sticks to the stove hood. It can be set for alarms on both. No wires. RVing now and at the pool. If interested can post name of device later. I think it was on Amazon. Maybe $50.

I used an indoor-outdoor wireless thermometer . I place the small sending unit in the fridge and then place the receiver in my Tow Vehicle. This way I can monitor the temp while traveling. Works great. Just keep fresh batteries.
