Works as Intended
Easy to install, easy to use…pretty much all you need for temperature control of your RV heat furnace.

very good replacement
This thermostat works just fine. Other reviews I’ve seen state there are no numbers on the upper hash mark scale which is correct however these marks are not necessary for operation due to the fact it is a single stage thermostat for heat. The lower portion has a thermometer which is pretty close to true. I would recommend this style for a simple heat system

Works well
I connected to my old camper trailer propane furnace, and it works great. It is an off-white color, it is not bright white.

Works well. No temperature scale but that doesn’t matter.
This is a direct replacement for the thermostat in my RV. It works perfectly and installs in minutes. As others have noted, this does not have a temperature scale on the top of the thermostat. It just has a series of hash marks. The photos should be up-dated. The fact that the numerical scale is missing doesn’t really matter. The scale on the old one was not accurate anyway. For the first day after installation just experiment with the setting you find most comfortable. Once you find the setting that is correct for you, just set it there in the future. The hash marks aid in setting it to the same position each time. The thermostat seems to perform very consistently at a given setting. (1 star was deducted only because they should post an accurate photo.)

Exactly as described and works great!
Bought this to replace the original Suburban thermostat in my 2002 Aerolite. Existing thermostat would not switch on unless set very high temperature, but then wouldnât switch off until set very low temperature. I live in cold country, so made for some seriously uncomfortable nights. Switching out the old one seemed like a cheap and easy fix.This was as easy as could be. Removed old thermostat (had to buy a square-headed screwdriver), set the capacitor, reattach the wires to the new piece, and screw back to wall. Voila! In following the instructions, I learned about setting the capacitor and itâs role in telling the heat to turn on or off to keep the desired temperature. Once I understood that, it became obvious that the problem with the old one was the capacitor was set with way too high a variation and I probably could have just reset it and it would have worked. But this new one looks great and was a great price so Iâm happy I switched it out. But if you are having a similar problem, make sure yours is set correctly before you buy new.

Works – but not perfect.
This really should be 3.5 but definitely not a 4. We purchased this to replace the failed control on 2009 toy hauler. You have to guestimate where it should be for a temperature. There is no, slide the scale to 70 degrees. While it accurately shows the temp, the slide control is just bars and its hard to dial it in just right. Often times we find that even when set between the 2nd and 3rd its blasting the trailer until its 80 degrees. Drop it to 2nd bar and trailer is hovering around 64 degrees.

The numbers on our original thermostat were unreadable so I replaced it with this one. I wanted something simple and inexpensive so this fit the bill perfectly. Works well and is easy to read. Shuts off position holds it in the off position when traveling. Very satisfied.

Bought this to replace the current broken thermostat in my camper. Everything works fine but I did notice that the numbers/degrees are not marked on the new one. Wasnât a big deal as I just put the old cover on the new thermostat for a quick fix.

I replaced a Dometic heat only thermostat that kept flattening my battery and wasting propane by not going to OFF easily, noticeably or correctly. For the Suburban the Amazon ad says 12 volt and the product insert says 24 volt. This should not make much difference in application and actually may be a little safer. Note though the Suburban Red (R) and White (W) connections may not match the wiring of your RV. In my Forester 19BH the live is white (W) and the neutral is black – (R) – backwards!!! How cheaply made are these RV’s? (generally the convention is the W is neutral and the black (B) or red (R) live) No problem here – set the Suburban to high and touch for a short while one of the RV wires to (R) if the furnace turns on it is the live wire (Do not neglect in the final install to connect the neutral as neglecting this introduces a shock hazard – but at 12 or 24 volts it is somewhat minor – unless your system has other problems).The Dometic / Atwood off/on switch is problematic – This Suburban is the same cost on replacement but appears to be a much better design.I am likely also to add a small ON/OFF toggle switch to the thermostat (the live wire) as my Forester is wired weird. The radio and carbon dioxide sensor both killed my battery even when the fuse breakers were turned to OFF. WTF! I suspect the furnace is the same. A trickle that eventually kills the battery.
