I suppose anything is possible
Just a matter of finding what wire goes where but you may lose features like the “dry” option that other units do not have and is quite nice imo
I have protruded the room sensor out through the filter on mine and the furnace works A1.
Haven’t used the A/C yet to give an opinion on its operation

I put the temperature sensor through the filter as well and it helps somewhat. I can live without the dry function. But a conventional thermostat that has a built in temperature sensor (like every other thermostat I've ever had) would fix the problem ...assuming it was compatible with a Furrion AC.
Furrion makes the assumption people are content to run the AC blower 24/7. The amount of noise it makes plus the problem while dry camping never occurred to them. I suspect they never consulted with an RVer when they designed the system.

I guess I don’t understand “it helps somewhat”
Mine runs to the desired temp and shuts off and on perfectly. What issues are you still having?

The dry feature will be great to remove moisture in the morning without running the A/C and turning the trailer into an icebox. I imagine I will use this feature daily
YMMV

Being in the desert southwest humidity isn't an issue for me but I can see the dry mode being useful otherwise. But the ceiling temperature doesn't reflect the room temperature and after a day of traveling I'm having to turn the thermostat way up to run the furnace. As the room temperature equalizes I have to keep turning the thermostat down otherwise it gets really hot. The temperature sensor needs to be located in the thermostat and not in the ceiling.

To answer your question....NO, a traditional thermostat will not work with the Furrion as it only uses a 2 wire communication bus between the control box and the thermostat unlike most other manufacturer's that have have individual control wires for the furnace, AC compressor and fan.
