Four Winds 28A thermostat cover?

New owner here. When we took our new 28A out for a shakedown in October, we found the thermostat inconveniently located. Our butts kept changing the temperature when we walked past the bed. I thought it would help to get a thermostat cover but can't locate anything that works. Recommendations? The dealer had no suggestions. Anyone have problems like this? I don't want to screw anything into the wall.
Thanks

That is a pretty low thermostat. I imagine any commercial thermostat covers would work but they stick out quite a bit and will, of course, require screws into the wall.



A better solution may be a digital thermostat upgrade, one that could be mostly recessed like this.

Here are a bunch of T-stat covers on amazon. These are security covers, perhaps a bit of overkill, but it will stop T-stat BUTT DIAL.

Yup, in a odd place for sure.
Go digital.
