Nothing really with an old analog thermostat.

For the digital thermostats:
The difference is the RV thermostat is designed to use and control 12 VDC.
A home thermostat is designed to use and control 24 VAC.

The home thermostat is capable of controlling 12 VDC but to use one in the RV you need to get one that operated off of batteries. This is a common mod that many people have done that couldn't see the need to pay the "RV" premium (including myself).
