   I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.  We had bought our r.pod to go RV-ing with our dog and named it after her.  We would definitely like to hear what you think malfunctioned with the a/c and/or thermostat when you are ready to share.
Take care.

	Welcome to the forum. I am sorry to hear of the loss of your pets. We have 5 cats and a dog, and have had several that we were very close to. My wife has a tattoo of the pawprint of our "baby", a cat we adopted when we were still dating. He lived to be 15, but passed 2 years ago. I've read your post several times and I don't understand what happened. Was the unit set to A/C mode but it never came on? Or was it blowing cold air when you changed the fan to high? The reason I ask is the problem may not have been with the thermostat. With the fan on high its possible the unit froze up - with the small volume of air inside the pods even leaving it on low could present problems. We leave ours set to low overnight so the sound of the compressor cycling on and off doesn't wake us up and there have been several nights we've woken up to heavy condensation dripping inside. That's never been a problem during the day when we leave the fan on auto.

	Check with your dealer to see if they can recommend another thermostat for the air conditining. My sympathies about the loss of your pets.

	Hello I own an RPod 176 and had it a month. I have owned several RV in the past. I took my rv to New Braunfels TX with my daughter and my 2 best buddies Brinklee 11 and Bailee 9 both are Maltese. Brinklee was a gift from my husband after my mom died...we had 3 goldens at the time....later he got cancer....they became one till he died. I got Bailee a few years later. Sat I got up made breakfast luvd on my boys, set the fan on high. We had been using the AC you have to due to the heat. I went back in and put the fan on high. I won't think about how what or why or what if. I came home to my dead babies from the heat. I am desperate to find another thermostat vs the one it comes with. I have been told the manual ones are no longer made. I think this is the only way I can move forward and trust my self. I know the unit is 12 volts so I can go to lowes to just get one. I have contacted a local RV shop for help. I have ask the dealer to contact the maker Domectic for help. I dont need a you did this or that...I have enought shame guilt and heart ache to last till I die and then some. I dont know if I will ever get past this nor my daughter. I had dogs that lived to be 16 years old never left them out side ...trust me 3 goldens are a handful. My family is devistated and this is alll my fault. Please respond if you know how i can get rid of this thermostat.
