Digital T-Stat Install

[pwrboatfan]

I am thinking about installing a Honeywell [url=http://yourhome.honeywell.com/home/Products/Thermostats/Digital-Non-Programmable/RTH5100B.htm]RTH5100B | Deluxe Digital Non-Programmable Thermostat[/URL] in my Travel Trailer. I was wondering if anyone on the forum had installed this exact (or one like it) unit. The reason I was wanting to know is battery life. I was looking at the basic Hunter unit that everyone installs, and it uses AA batteries, and this Honeywell uses AAA batteries. I like the Honeywell better because of the lighted LCD and the automatic change over from cool to heat, however, if I am changing batteries every month, it would not be worth it. Granted going from AA to AAA I know the battery life will be reduced, but I just thought if someone had the Honeywell, or one like it, they could speak to the battery life.

Thanks Nick

FWIW I installed a Hunter digital programmable in our previous TT. The batteries lasted from April when we opened it up thru October when we closed it down.

Batteries for mine last more than one season.

May I ask which T-Stat you installed?

I just bought the Hunter thermostat at Walmart to install in my Roo.
