I wanted a digital thermostat that had a lighted display and didn’t want a programmable one. I ended up getting a Honeywell RTH5100B from Lowes ($39.00). Bought a package of 2 SPST submini slide switches from Radio Shack ($2.69 for 2). I used my dremmel to cut holes for the slide part as well as for the two screws. The disadvantage to the Honeywell over the Hunters is the switch is mounted to the part that comes off when you remove the face. I don’t plan on taking the face off anymore anyhow. Battery cartridge is in upper right hand corner so cover doesn’t need to come off to change them. I didn’t take pictures during the install (I never remember to do that) but here is the finished product.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was going to blame you.
The things that come to those that wait will be the scraggly crappy junk left by those that got there first.
I've been thinking about a camera system for connecting the trailer and for looking behind the trailer when towing. Would need a system with 2 cameras. You might want to double check your state laws about the mirrors though. Many states require towing mirrors when towing a trailer regardless how many reaar looking cameras you have.

I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but the screening covering the furnace air inlet & exhaust outlet has effectively reduced the size of these openings (a larger amount than one would think). The furnace needs to expel exhaust the gasses and have sufficient air available for combustion. You might check with Suburban and see what they think of this screening.

Thanks!
CA seemed vague about it only saying you need to be able to see an object 200' behind you. The camera is very wide angle and I have no blind spots. It has really been a stress releif to know exactly what's going on back there. It's down low which isn't good at night though. The headlights shine directly at it.
