Finally the new parts arrived and I had a chance to install the new thermostat and zone controller this weekend. Well it seems to help the short cycling of the compressor, I was less then impressed with the accuracy of the thermostat temperature reading.
The new thermostat only reads temperature for the heat mode and it is far from accurate. It seems to read about 5 degrees Celsius off for the heat setting, to get to 19 degrees in the trailer the thermostat needs to be set to 24/25 degrees for the furnace to kick on.
On the other hand when the heat mode is displaying 25 degrees (when it it’s actually 19 degrees) you can switch modes to cool or fan and the temperature will read off the room sensor probe in the a/c. This temperature is also incorrect as it’s still located inside the inlet duct. The sensor is just long enough to poke out the grill if you decide to do this. When poked out of the grill it will read a more accurate room temperature.
I am at the point where I almost regret changing the old thermostat and zone controller out. At least the old setup read correctly when the sensor was poked out of the grill.
I may contact Furrion and see what they have to say about the thermostat miss reading the temperature on heat mode.
