I have a great recommendation for you~Hope I can help you!!Tongue
I bought a multifunctional humidity meter few months ago,which with date, week, time, humidity, temperature, alarm clock, and back light. It also a perfect for travel, home and outdoor use, which is convenient to carry.I think it's worth buying one.And the reason I choose digital one is that I can have lots of functions in this small humidity meter,it is really convenient~If you want to know more about my humidy meter, I can give you the official website~Hope I can help you solve your problem~

Get another and stick the remote sensor in the fridge.

We installed our outside sensor beside the door with velcro.  When we are leaving a campsite we remove the sensor and store it inside.  Safe Travels.

I'm going quick and easy with this one. I ran to Lowe's at lunch and they had a pretty good selection. I want to mount the display right above the HVAC thermostat, so I know the true temp in that exact spot, so I got one of the very basic units with a wireless outdoor sensor ($16).  This way if the sensor some how gets destroyed by road debris, I haven't lost much of an investment.

I installed this from Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Clock-Thermometer-Voltage-Meter/dp/B00M6INHGI?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

I don't think they've got this specific unit any longer, but probably have something similar. It works well except the display needs to be seen head on. In addition to inside/outside temps it also displays battery voltage and time/date (and acts as an alarm clock).

I installed over the bed on the kitchen side of my 178. I was able to tap to the furnace 12v source under the sink and mount the external temperature probe outside by skirting the wire through the slide.

Does anyone have any Indoor/Remote Outdoor Thermometer recommendations? The cheap Dometic thermostat does not seem to show the actual ambient cabin temperature. Also, I would really like to know the outside temp as well. I am planning on using the type that has the wireless outdoor sensor, so I can get an accurate reading by locating it somewhere under the Rpod.  Just wondering what brands/models people have tried.
