    GD sent me a new Furrion Thermostat.

    Is this all I need to have the AC temp readings done from the Thermostat location ?? Any tips on how to remove the old wires and insert the new ones ?? Does it work any better than the old setup ??

    AC temps will still be read from inside the AC unit

    The new thermostat is for the furnace temps

    Did they send a new module as well?

    Did they send this on their own or did you request it?

    [QUOTE=NB Canada;444365]Did they send a new module as well?

    Did they send this on their own or did you request it. What exactly is the new
    module ?? They told me all I need is this new thermo, it has a little bulb temp sensor on the bottom. I requested it after reading about it on the forum.

    I just called GD, and the "module" is being shipped today. I didn't realize you need to replace both. However, the RV Airflow I have installed should alleviate the temp sensor problem; we are heading on a trip tomorrow for a real-world test of the Furrion equipped with the RV airflow.

    From what I've read, the new thermostat will not work unless the new control box (inside the intake plenum) is also replaced. Grand Design should have sent you both parts.

    We installed the new items and it works better than before. Is it still an issue having the sensor in the AC? No clue.
