    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper step

    Thanks Wetcoast. The steps were an option we ordered with the Grandby build. You can find them on the pricing sheet as rear wall steps.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper step

    The DH builds things that work. The bottom step comes out when we use the utility trailer and the hitch forms the step. He's thinking of reworking it so the ball is built into that step instead...we'll see.

    It's the same as the one Old Crow linked to, White-Rodgers 1E78-140, and the same as the pic in the second post of this thread.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Thermostat warm-up

    Ours is a late model 2015 Grandby. I wonder whether DesertDave is satisfied with the replacement he put in a year ago...maybe take a look at that. http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/9895-another-thermostat-thread/?p=111181

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Thermostat warm-up

    For those experiencing the lag, I'd be curious as to what happens to the displayed temp if you do a reset by holding in both arrow buttons and sliding the switch to the 'Heat' position. Does that bring the temp displayed up to correct temp?

    Mine appears identical to this one on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Emerson-1E78-140-Series-Non-Programmable-Thermostat/dp/B00204WWGE Again, the issue is not that the stat isn't warming, it's that the display lags in showing the correct temp, so the hand warmers really shouldn't make any...

    RyanOBrian1 Yes, my experience is that a reset brings it up to current temp, whether that is done at 50 or whatever. But if you reset at 50 and actually want it to shut off at 60, it will continue to lag until it gets to the set temp of 60. Hope that makes sense.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Thermostat warm-up

    OC, that made perfect sense to me even though the model I have is different (doesn't have the cooling feature) and I was all set to test again tomorrow using the milk barn heater and warming it up, then I ran across a review on Amazon for the exact same stat that I have. Here's what mcavs had to...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Thermostat warm-up

    In that pic, the 20 is supposed to reflect the current temp inside the camper. The 60 to the right is the setting at which the furnace should turn off. The sensor is somewhere inside the thermostat unit I believe. (This is based on a pic that DesertDave posted on another thread showing how he...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Thermostat warm-up

    Yes, we can live with it, but I do think the problem lies with the thermostat itself. Maybe it's not designed to work well in really cold temps (18 inside the camper yesterday morning). Or maybe it's just a dud. But here's a pic to illustrate what I mean. The top thermometer has its sensor...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Thermostat warm-up

    Ours may also work fine once it has caught up as you say. And I suppose it could actually be meant to work that way to keep it from cycling on and off too much as it does the initial warm up...who knows. Thanks again for the input; anyone who knows anything about thermodynamics is way ahead of me.

    Thanks for the replies. Wallowa (my old home town!): "The relatively uninsulated cabinet holding the thermostat, and I assume the heat sensor, is in a poor place to register the temp in the camper but rather is more influenced by the cold coming in from the cabinet through the camper wall...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Thermostat warm-up

    Stalking Light, did you ever resolve the issue of the thermostat's slow warmup? We have the same issue with our new Grandby. We have been checking it out getting ready for a trip but it just seems this is a strange way for the thermostat to work. We were testing this morning (20 degrees...
