Outdoor thermometer

Anyone installed an outdoor thermometer with readout inside? Preferably visible in the cockpit? What did you use?

OK. I just wonder if that will be accurate if the sun is on that side.....

Right now thinking about putting it somewhere underneath, but don't want it in the splash zone....

Some people put it in the propane tank area since there is more air flow. I put ours in the water cabinet snce more concerned during freezing temps.

I Velcro my Outside unit on the window under my awning. Out of sunshine and rain. Bought the combo indoor outdoor thermometer at Wally World for about $10.00.

We put our outside sensors (our inside unit can control 3)
In the wet bay (freezing concerns)
Under the lip of the Living Room Slide (ambient temperature)
In the main basement (just to monitor temperatures there)
