Seneca front a/c t-stat

[Rick-in-Houston]

My front a/c t-stat is located at the rear door leading into the bedroom. The back a/c temps affect the actual temp reading for the front a/c.
Has anyone ever tried to move the t-stat upfront in order to get a more accurate temp reading?
I hope I'm making sense!

On my TS the front thermostat is on the wall near the bathroom door and like yours, is affected by the rear A/C if it is going. I have not researched relocating it, but I did find if I slide the bedroom door shut it "isolates" the two areas and the front one seems to work more accurately.

It has worked for us for several years like that!

I guess we have a little difference in each of the models... the FK has the front T-Stat right across from the front door and around the corner from the fireplace.

It gets direct sun through the big Picture window in the afternoon, gets blown on directly by the furnace and if the Fireplace is running.

It is affected by almost everything... Open the door, furnace running, fireplace running... I looked at places where it could be moved, and then had another "SQUIRREL!!!! moment" and just like that I was on to something else

Rob, thanks for the reply. Our problem is that we need the additional air from the bedroom so I have to at the very least keep the bedroom door partially opened.
It gets hot in Texas!

We just adjust the front thermostat about 4 degrees different from the rear and it usually is about right Les

I found that if I direct the vent away from the thermostat it doesn’t cycle as much. It is the hallway vent that messes with my front thermostat.

Last trip out I think I noticed something odd. At night we run the front A/C unit on High Auto Cool so the fan cycles off and on as needed. The bedroom unit is run on Cool High so the fan runs constantly all the night - it doesn’t startle us during the night when the compressor cycles on and off. The front unit cycled off and I happened to be up front toward the cab and. I think I felt air coming out of one of the front vents. Is it possible that the bedroom unit also cools the front. As to the original post, my front unit t’stat is in my bath vanity area just about 3’ from my rear t’stat.

On my 2014 the ductwork is indeed connected, I can run either A/C and feed the entire system. When watching TV up front we'll run the rear A/C to minimize the noise, reverse it when we go to bed. Run them both when needed.

My 2018 TS has the connected vents as well. We do the same as Rob.

Our front AC gets used little, just because of the noise. Our back unit runs almost 100 percent of the time we are in the unit and that is around 9 to 10 months a year. We like the "white noise" when sleeping and just seem to always want the moving of the air even when the compressor is off. We also have the entire system impacted by either unit running. We have the black "oil spill" paint job and it can be quite warm if not parked under trees. We spend our Winters in Florida and Summers in upstate New York. Except for the extreme heat of the middle of the day, if the temps are in the 90's, we can keep our unit quite comfortable.

A tower fan, preferably the very quiet Dyson 'Air Multiplier' fan, has a small footprint and is great for helping the rooftop air handlers circulate air throughout the coach. It also lowers the perceived temperature. We use ours all the time.
