Hi there,

I have the rpod 178 2020 and the basic thermostat in it leaves room for improvement such as replacement with a programable one.  

Does anyone have information on this?  is it doable? 

Thanks!

Micro air for big bucks has one that has an app you can control via Bluetooth or internet, love mine but it is expensive. I wanted to be able to adjust from my bed either air or heat as needed.
Easy install but pricey.

The Micro-Air EasyTouch thermostat to which Skip refers is a nice alternative to a remote temperature monitor for pets if you pair it with a cellular hotspot or just use campground wifi. I have one as well that I just installed.


You'll need to pick the one that works with your air conditioner; I have the 352 for the Coleman-Mach AC in my 196.

Thanks for the good info gentlemen.  In the meantime I made a call to Dometic and the tech person on the line told me that there is *absolutely* to way to replace their thermostat with a programable one!  You'd think they'll know...
I'll check into the model you mentioned and will probable justify its price as a life-or-death appliance :j

EasyTouch RV Thermostat 351 is on order for my '21 171 Pod - the Dometic CT, despite my knowledge of it being 'soft touch', became 'hard press' after only three excursions...junk...
