New Thermostat for 21RBS

Done deal as well with LuxPRO PSD010BF.   Hardest part is getting 2 mounting screw that you feel are secure in  the paneling.

Another LuxPRO PSD010BF bandwagon member!  I installed and tested mine today!   The hardest part was disconnecting the old one.  Mine did not have much slack in the wires so that made it hard to disconnect and reconnect to the LuxPRO, other than than it was a super easy upgrade.   I like that I can see what the temp is inside the trailer now regardless of having the heater on.

I installed a Honeywell programmable thermostat in my 8.5 x 22 Axxess livin lite trailer.  It worked well until the inside temperature was below freezing.  It then wouldn't start the Atwood furnace, just showed LO on the display.  Called Honeywell and they said to remove thermostat to a warm location an then reinsert to get it to function.  This is normal operation if thermostat is too cold according to Honeywell.  Took it back to the store and reinstalled original unit.  Haven't been able to find one that works in sub freezing temperatures.

[font size="3"]Very interesting. [/font][font size="3"]So you have to use an electric heater to start the propane heater?  [/font][font size="3"] Thermo's not much good if you can't turn on the heat when it's cold.[/font][font size="3"] [/font][font size="3"]No such indication in the LuxPro documentation and I haven't tried it with inside temp below 32F. Sounds like I should.

I feel like a dummy. Just two wires to deal with to change out the Atwood to the Lux Pro, but I'm not sure which wire goes to what terminal. Been searching the web but still need help. This is too easy. Anyone??

If you have the same as mine there are 3 possible connections to the thermostat, but since the furnace controls the fan and there are only 2 wires ignor that choice (I think it's green?).   grey wire with white stripe goes to white terminal screw(the one next to the fan terminal), grey with black stripe goes to the the black terminal screw.   The manual shows a chart of which terminal does what on the thermostat.
