Thermostat reccomendations for Atwood heater?

[smlobx]

We spent the weekend camping in the low 20's and our camper ended up in the upper twenties by the early morning without the heater on.

My wife does not like the effect of the dry heat but at the same time would like to keep the temperature of the camper above 35 or so.

Our current standard thermostat for our Atwood heater has the old standard sliding scale which only gets down to about 50 degrees. Is there a better upgrade which would allow us to set the temperature lower?

Thanks!

X2 on the Honeywell, I just installed one in my Hawk and it works perfectly.

Eddie...

I have the Honeywell as well.

My sinus's do not tolerate the dry heat very well either. I have to crack a roof vent or window to allow fresh air flow into the camper regardless of OAT. I've found a setting of 64F on the digital thermostat to be about right. Actual temp in the camper is probably around 60F on freezing/sub-freezing nights.

We sleep under a Pacific Coast White Goose Down comforter in the camper during dead of winter....toasty!

Another option is to use a 12V USB humidifier. I've used such out west but haven't found the need in the southeast with our humidity levels.

I just replaced mine with this after doing some research it seemed like the best option.I will be using it tomorrow night when I am in Flagstaff in 16 degree temps...............

Thanks everyone.
It looks like the Honeywell is the one to get!

I installed a manual (not-digital) Honeywell garage thermostat. No battery. It works fine for us. I can reach it from the over cab bed to adjust the temperature setting or turn it off/on.

I just got back from Flagstaff AZ and Colorado it worked perfect. 16 degrees in Flag and I set it to 48 and worked perfectly, actually turned off when it reached the temp like it is supposed to......
