Review on ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Atwood 38453 Thermostat: Precise Temperature Control for Optimal Comfort and Efficiency by Moe Gilbert

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ease of installation. Excellent price.

Easy to install. Works as advertised. Be sure to read the instructions and calibrate the anticipator properly. The manufacturer's instructions state: do not go below 0.48 as this will burn out the anticipator. It looks like it's already set to 1.0, which is good. For safety's sake, I called Atwood's very friendly customer service in Indiana to verify the exact model of thermostat required for the existing Atwood Hydroflame heater in my RV. For security reasons, I recommend doing this rather than guessing. The only negative comment is to repeat to others that the power button is too tight to move. This is a production issue at Atwood that they need to fix. I solved the problem very carefully by sawing off the plastic bulge underneath. That's why I gave 4 stars. Revain and the seller got the best price, $5 cheaper than Walmart.
