Heading home

We picked up our new 21NE F2 on Monday and are on our way back to California. So far, so good. A few minor issues: 1. The Dometic furnace thermostat is really a joke. Any suggestions for an upgrade? 2. It appears that dust and sand are coming in through the bathroom ceiling fan. Yes it’s closed 🤪. Any thoughts? I’m sure there’s more to come.

Stick with it, it will get better.
It’s all part of it.

On my 2016 E19, I did replace the cheesy OEM open cell foam gasket with a closed cell weatherstrip piece. The adhesive film on the old went went kaput, and the replacement will do so too, someday.

Search the forum for thermostat posts. I recall there are plenty of them.

Yael & Paul- congrats!! If you want to change it before returning to Los Osos just stop in a Home Depot and get a simple heat only non-setback timer T-stat. You have my number if I can help.

Thanks Ross. Will do

Thanks. Sounds like a job for when I get home and have a ladder handy.

When you get back home get your vacuum out and then proceed to vacuum every single space you can reach.

You will find a lot of wood dust, screws, pieces of wire etc from the construction. We've had ours 1 year now and still find more coming out all the time.

As someone mentioned above, it's all part of the process.

Enjoy the Adventure!

Assuming that you have the Dometic thermostat that does both the AC & furnace, there is an expensive substitutet - Micro Air's Easy Touch. I have one & like it - easy to read & adjust, shows current temperature, and does both Bluetooth & WiFi.

A standard household thermostat cannot be substituted for the version of the Dometic thermostat that does both AC & furnace. It sends a control signal to a box of electronics in the AC.
