So, let's do the calculations. If a crappy mercury switch thermostat costs $15 but a digital model costs $30, Thor has saved a whopping $15 per vehicle by using junk. But, they have managed to piss off every user who touches it, except that one guy in this thread who likes his.
If the average Thor Motor Coach lists for $120,000, the cost of installing a decent thermostat would be thirteen thousandths of one percent.
I'm sorry, but that does not make economic sense to me.

One reason - A home thermostat wont handle the 2-speed fans commonly found in RVs. They'd have to do without the 2-speed, or install a separate "Hi-lo" switch in the wall which cost more labor, or might confuse us RV owners. lol
