heat only thermostat upgrade?

Hey y'all!
I have a 2021 Zinger 18BH. It has the analog style heater only thermostat. Is it possible to switch out the analog version for a digital thermostat? Can I get the dual zone and just use the heat side?

Thank you in advance for your expertise.

Paul

Are you saying that the thermostat only controls the furnace, and not the air conditioner?
You could use a dual thermostat just fine. Be sure it is a 12 volt type for an RV, or uses a replaceable battery for power.
I have used a Coleman digital thermostat with success.

Years back the analog thermostat was being switched out for a digital. I have one in mine. It sure gives a closer range on the heat setting. It's a "Hunter". We all bought them from Walmart.

Thanks for the help! I figured it would work but just wanted to be sure.

Y'all have an amazing weekend.

I use a Honeywell Home RTH5160D1003 Non-programmable Thermostat, $39.00 on Amazon.

Works great. I had used the Hunter but wanted a bigger display.
