From Wal Mart we bought the Acu-Rite Model 01033 (unfortunately made in China). It has indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, a barometer, future forecast (which is not always accurate), and the date and time. We like having it for the 5th wheel so we know what the outside temperature and humidity are. That lets us know if we should open the windows or turn on the a/c. I know there are many brands out there that are just as good or better.

We bought ours at WM. Not expensive. Mainly to know outside temp. Pleased with ours. They have a variety. Larry

We just have an indoor/outdoor thermometer. Put the remote in the shady side LP station. Us weather apps on our iPhone for everything else including radar.

Same here. Except hang the remote from the back side of the pin box.

Ditto to BB TX. I hang our remote sensor on the back side of the pin box--almost always in the shade except at early mornings or late evenings when the sun may hit it. Let's you know what the temp is outside.

I too only have the indoor/outdoor thermometer types. I found a good spot for the outdoor remote behind the steps against the frame. If you are worried about moisture put it in a Ziploc bag. I also use an indoor/outdoor with a min/max feature. Indoor is the refrigerator, outdoor is the freezer. If you want to do the same, I found that now you can get one and add remotes on different channels you can switch from one to another which would be more convenient.

We bought an Accu-rite model 1010 from WM. It has indoor/outdoor temp.&humidity,24hr max and min,barometric,wind speed and direction and rainfall. It requires 14 or more days in one location to give a decent forecast so when we're on the move that isn't much use. I fastened an extendable pole on the rear ladder and fastened the station to that. When we are traveling I just lower it and place a velcro strap around it to keep the cups for wind speed from spinning

Thought you were going to address TWC...what a joke that channel has become! Want to know the weather? Look elsewhere...like buying a product like the one you mentioned.
