Another issue? What other problems are you having?I told CS that I could not lower the thermostat lower than 60. When I had my Arctic Fox that I sadly miss, the thermostat could be lowered to 35. When the nights here go down to 20, I like to keep the heat at a minimum of 35. this always prevented any freezing when the pipes were blown out. With GD, I keep my fingers crossed! I want to know if this is a design flaw or another issue with Furion.
Any chance you can install another thermostat?I called GD and told them I could not lower thermostat so they sent 2 new ones. Same problem and tech told me the thermostats are not designed to go lower. Nightmare. Why customer service did not tell me that??? GD dealer totally useless!
It's not the 5th wheels fault. Or the Furrion system.... it is working as designed.Thanks. Apparently MicroAire is the only one that can be used with the Furion junk A/C'sbut they cost a fortune given the unit cost and labor to install correctly. My guess is a total cost would approach $400 or more! For a brand new 5th wheel!
We purchased the Microair Easy Touch. Currently have my camper set to 40°. Yes it's expensive, and yes it's an awesome thermostat. And it's also incredibly easy to install, would probably take you 10 minutes, following the instructions. And if you had a problem they have fabulous customer support although it is via email.Thanks.

You must be new to RVing. You will soon find out that this is a very small issue in the RV world. Buckle up, its gonna be a rough rideI called GD and told them I could not lower thermostat so they sent 2 new ones. Same problem and tech told me the thermostats are not designed to go lower.

Do you mind sharing where you got the heat strip and controller? I have the MicroAir and a heat strip would be great.We purchased the Microair Easy Touch. Currently have my camper set to 40°.

Another benefit of the MicroAir is that you can program it so that you can schedule the heat to drop lower at night, and warm up the trailer before you get up in the morning. And it's Wi-Fi capable so if you have a way to connect it you can control your thermostat from anywhere via the app on your phone.
Another benefit of having the MicroAir is I was able to buy a heat strip kit and controller to install into my main Furrion AC unit, and now I have a close equivalent to a heat pump, So when temperatures are above freezing I can use that to heat the trailer and save the propane. Of course, this would not be optimal if you were in a full-time situation where you have to pay for your electric. But since we are not in that situation, it works out great for us.
