The infrared remote control system is made by a third party, not made by Dometic. You will find the same remote system on Carrier systems and it is not made by Carrier. It is made by a company who use to be a member of the Carrier family. This company was recently sold and makes AC and Heating controls for many different company's. You can even find the remote in Camping World catalog with Carrier stamped on it. You can change your system to a conventional thermostat with some doing. There are three components that make up the infrared system. 1ST is the remote, 2ND is the receiver on your wall, 3RD is the main brain box just behind your AC filter. It is this printed circuit board and the wall receiver that have to be changed to go to a more conventional system.

When you remove the AC cover you will see the housing which covers the board main printed circuit board for the Infrared system. You'll recognize this housing because the phone cable from the receiver on the wall plugs into it. From here your wiring is a follows. There are two wires which go down to your furnace (very small wires). The 110 volt AC goes into one side of the board and the at the other side is just your normal AC pigtails. The schematic is on the housing. This system is a third party system capable of running anyones AC/Furnace. A good RV technician should be able to put a normal control board and thermostat after removing this board.
