Thermastat
I could use some pointers on setting the thermostat. The instructions are not very user friendly. It is a Dometic dual zone comfort control. I would like to find out an easy way to program.

If you are wanting to program different temperatures at different times, you will have to follow the manual instructions. I have never messed with that, I just set each zone for whatever temperature I want and let it go at that after selecting either furnace or cool.

You can set the thermostat to come on at certain times? I wasn't aware it could do that.

It is amazing what things are capable of if one resorts to that one reference source that goes against all "manly" intuitions, the manual! I used to read those works that I interpreted as fiction years ago, but in the course of growing older and wiser, that habit was quickly left behind, and all of those materials were crammed into a drawer somehwere!! Disclaimer: There is a heck of a lot of sarcasm embedded somewhere in this post, but I will leave the detective work to others!! Hee Hee!!

I spent a fair amount of time setting the T stat so it would change heat settings at various times. It does work. But it doesn't have a temporary override function unlike a home T stat. Should you want to change any time/temperature value you have to re-program the T stat. And that change remains until you change it again. I found it easier to just set the temp to what I want now. At night I drop the temp. I let the wife get up in the morning and let her jack the temp up. Once it is comfortable I will roll out of bed. It works for us.

It is cumbersome, but I have used the programing for day/night changes on the dual zone comfort control. It was a learning curve, and when the coach was brand new we kept waking up in the middle of the night with the Zone 2 AC blowing cold air while Zone 1 was heating the coach with the Furnace. We like to set the temperatures for the coach based on how we feel warm/cold at any given time. Here is how we live with the system: We select Zone 1, then change function to AC, then set temperature. Then select Zone 2 and repeat. For the Furnace we select Zone 1, then select Furnace, then set temp. Then select Zone 2 and turn the Function to Off as there is only one furnace and it is controlled by Zone 1 settings. Not that it matters, but we like to heat the coach to about 73 degrees and when cooling we set both Zones to about 76 degrees. As I digress, when we have already paid for the electricity in the nightly rental fee we heat with fireplace and/or small ceramic heaters and set the Furnace to a lower temperature as a back up. Hope this wordy rambling reply helps.
