I would think that the new dometic thermostat would be a direct wire in? I found one for 34.99 Thanks Coop See ya Coop 2008 forest river sandpiper t272 http://coop45.webs.com/ coopsclutchmods@q.com LAdams • View posts Northern Illinois Moderator Joined: 10/06/2000 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Online Posted: 01/29/12 10:52pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I haven't tried the Dometic but why is the low battery light flashing if there isn't a low battery And regarding the red wire not being used - what difference does that make???

Did you install it the correct way? Did you use a small pin and push the reset? garym114 • View posts Bluff Dale, Texas Senior Member Joined: 07/24/2006 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/29/12 11:10pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator It doesn't use the red wire because that is the power lead to the thermostat and the Hunter is battery powereed.

They are a tad bit loose; I have to shim them a bit to keep them tight in their slots. Remember, the Hunter was not built to be mobile - so some adaptation may be in order. Mine has been very good about batteries; they will last a year or more. One quirk is that if the batteries do go flat dead, the system will keep on doing whatever it was doing when they went dead. If the heat is on, it will keep heating, etc. Sluggo DH = Bruce, DW = PK, DD = Maggie (Lab, Pointer, Viszla)RIP 4/13/2007 Apprentice Princess = Kaia Grace (Blue Heeler - Wire Haired Terrorist) TV = 2005 Chev CC LWB Max & Allie 5'er = 2005 Excel R30CKW rpegram • View posts Eastern NC Full Member Joined: 09/07/2009 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/30/12 04:34am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I've had a Hunter in my Starcraft for around 2 years and only replaced batteries one time. I would not have had to do it then if I had removed the batteries in between trips. Low battery never flashed, it died when we weren't using the trailer. Before replacing thermostat, the AC could barely keep the trailer cool in the summer, but after switching, the AC kept the unit cool with no problem. The difference was that there was so little temperature change in the cycling of the AC. 2011 Jayco 26RLS '92 26' Starcraft TT '96 Dodge 3500 CC, 12 valve Cummins jackandh2o • View posts Golden Valley, Arizona Senior Member Joined: 11/24/2006 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 01/30/12 06:52am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Coop44, where did you find that at?

Maybe I need to reset it? We're is the pin hole to reset?

I like the hi/low feature that I added to my digital using a SPST switch. Agree with others...change the batt. reset it and forget about the red wire. If you really hate the red wire...cut it off.
