"Remote" cruise-air control?

[Ryan Wright]

Has anyone replaced or modified the cruise-air controls to work with a
"normal" thermostat? I've not pulled a control unit off the wall yet,
but I'm assuming it's not a standard HVAC wiring...

I left for work this morning and, since it was cold outside, forgot to
turn on one of my air conditioners. So I get home and it's 100 degrees
in the bus. *grumble* .. I know I can turn the cruise-airs on and
adjust the temperature dial accordingly, but the silly fans run
constantly. Sure wish there was a way to cycle the fans on & off
automatically in response to temperature changes like the HVAC in my
stick-built home. Anyone know?

Ryan,
Just the other day my son and I were remembering how cold the cruise airs were
in our 84FC. Your coach is not nearly as well insulated as most homes..and
subject to a lot of heat. I imagine having the fans continue to run on slow is
probably a good idea..keeping not only the moisture down..but keeping the
surfaces inside your coach reasonably cool. That's what takes so long to cool
down.
Anyone know why the price of batteries (lead?) has gone out of sight? The cheap
no-name brand AGM's for my coach batteries are up $219.00 in just four months.

Hurricanes or the threat thereof, the petroleum market(energy required to
melt and process the metal) and the Chicago Commodities Exchange=High metal
prices.
That is my theory.
