Yes, YouTube is my friend. But, what you're describing just won't work in my little Class-C. Why? Because everything sold at Lowes and HD runs on 24vac and everything in my MH runs on 12vdc.
I've seen jerry-rigged devices that claim to convert from one voltage to the other but, in the end, I decided to go with a little 12v Coleman digital thermostat that does everything in one unit including BlueTooth. Simple with big numbers, compatible with my tired eyes.
I've had the thermostat in my hands for 4 weeks but the AC unit cover and control box have been on back-order for over a month. Apparently, some creep went around and bought every Coleman part available from every warehouse in the USA. Nobody can get anything until Coleman starts cranking them out again and they are apparently still trying to figure out how to work while wearing facemasks.
And, while I'm on my soapbox, I'd like to take another swipe at Thor. When they installed the original cheap-ass analog thermostat with the antique bi-metal strip, they saved one or two dollars by using a 2-wire cable instead of a standard 5 or 6-wire thermostat cable. Now I get the fun of pulling that one out and replacing it with the cable they should have used in the first place.
