I'm thinking about installing a digital soon. So for you guys that have done it, is it easy to install or will I need some type of adaptor since the camper side is harnessed? Also, how will I then be able to control my fax speed. Most units only have settings for A/C or Heat......and fan ON or OFF. I may need to search this site for installation tips. Haven't done that yet.

Fan speed. wire high and low to the fan on terminal. Add a additional mini switch to the hi speed circuit. When switch is closed, fan is hi. switch open fan is low because hi circuit is disabled. I just wired mine hi all the time.

Where do you get this "mini switch" you're talking about?

It sounds like you only have heat. Just get a thermofor heating-2 wire system. Talk to the guys at Lowes. I dont go to HomoDepot.

I had the same problem on an Atwood heater. It was a Bad board in the heater. $51 for a new Dinosaur board and $60 for the service call.
