Re: Digital thermostat
I decided to try connecting the 12v power to mine to see what happened and it works fine. Getting rid of that old thermostat was one of the best mods I've made so far.
Now I'm considering another change. Since the W/R 1F78-151 is a two stage thermostat I'm thinking of connecting the first stage to a relay that powers a dedicated 110v socket for a portable heater. As the camper cools the electric heater kicks on and the temp is accurately controlled by the wall thermostat. If the temp continues to cool the second stage heat, the propane furnace, kicks in. I've consulted an electrician and he says if I use a relay that can handle the amperage it should work fine. Right now this is in the "thinking" stage but I'll probably try it before long. However the outcome I'll post the results.
Happy Camping!
