Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Problem With Thermostat


Our thermostat seems to have a mind of it's own. We will set it at a certain temp. and the thing changes to 72, faithfully, on it's own! Has anyone had a problem with theirs? If so, what did you do to fix the darn thing. I mean it is cold outside but 72 is a little warm for us!

If it is a programable one make sure the temp you want is in the HOLD mode. If it's not a programable one all you can do is replace it.

If there is a battery in the tsat it might need changing. It sounds like the tsat  is "defaulting" to 72 either from a dead internal battery or if no internal battery (draws power from the house circuit) then there seems to be an internal malfunction causing it to go to its default temp. That would be my guess.

Our thermostat was placed right next to the shelf for the TV in our living area. It took me a couple of trips in colder weather to finally figure out why the heater wouldn't come on unless I turned the thermostat way up past 90.

The heat from the TV was giving it a false reading.

Moved thermostat, fixed the problem.
