Has anybody replaced the thermostats in there Senecas with a better one than the Mach stats that come with the MH? The temp readings are way off on mine.
I don't see any calibration for them.
Comments?

Denny--yes i replaced the stats in my 2007 Seneca with a digital stat from Walmart--it sells for $19 or #20. and is simple to install. Works much better than the stats that came with the Seneca--usually keeps the temp within i degree of the setting. A very inexpensive improvement.

I looked at Russ Hills thermostat. It would be a easy install to put a Hunter in place of the one supplied with the Seneca's.
This Hunter will work OK in the Seneca.

I have a different model in rear. Because all it needs to do is run rear AC.

I added a single pole switch to each. This allowed me to change fan speed like the original thermostat could.

I would never bother to even look at the numbers and only move it to get to some comfort level in the coach. As drafty as they are it feels like cild air moves aroud the main salon anyway.

/Oh now I get it...on/off cycles are not very precise..i attributed that more to the non uniform temp in the coach but it sounds like I.am wrong.

So I went to Home Depot and purchased two stats. The Mach stats have six wires and the new stats only have provision for 5. I beleive that one of the wires is for the low or high fan setting. Also these stats are for 24V AC.
which was not noted on the package. Anybody tried these stats---Honeywell RTH221 from Home Depot. $18.00? If anybody has post the wireing setup.
Thanks

That model should work. It is run by AAA batteries. When we looked at Russ's. He had very good info in his owners manual on the original thermostat wiring. You will need to add a switch if you want 2 speed AC fan.
The OEM thermostat also had something for humidity control. You may not need this wire.
