After watching this video I realized the camper that my girlfriend bought was missing the dc positive and negative coming out of the ceiling which is why it wasn’t working. I ended up running it from a light switch by the thermostat and running it to the top of the ac unit for my power. It’s kind of redneck but it works! Thank you so much it saved me a lot of time. I spent all night wondering if I was missing something and why it wasn’t working the people she bought it from screwed up all the wiring

Question: the box I received has the same male wire pins as the wire connector coming from the AC harness. Also, there's only 5 wires in the connector in the box, and 6 in the AC harness....I also noticed the wires don't correspond to the harness, so I'll need to rewire either the box or the AC harness... It appears the solid yellow comm wire is missing from the box harness.... Have you seen this before? I did confirm "according to Amazon" the kit was compatible with my AC...

[@kreutztimothy]

Fixed it!... Dug through the trash got the old control box and realized I can just take the old plug out of the box and swap it into the new box.... Crisis diverter😁.... Oh yeah, the old plug also only had 5 wires coming from it as well.

[@davidbuchanan327]

great info. Im getting ready to tackle this job tomorrow. Mine is a little different so Im taking it slow. I have an older duo therm penguin from 2002 on my Lance truck camper. The control box is not removeable. This is the low profile version with a heat strip. So I guess room was an issue because the control board is mounted next to the capacitors on top. Just not as plug and play as all the videos I've seen. Without this wiring info though no doubt it would take me much longer. Im updating because the thermostat was acting up on my last camping trip. So I figured it was time to get the analog one out. Otherwise this old penguin works great.

[@alexiscristy2838]

Great video... We have a 05 winnebago horizon 40KD and we are pulling the old basement AC out and replacing with 2 dometic rooftop units. The previous furnace wires are hooked up to the old thermostats, but the 2 blue wires are used in conjuction with the 12v- and 12v+ that run to each furnace, for the new units will it matter which wires are hooked up? I was planning on just using the same wires that ran to the thermostats before... or does it HAVE to be one of the 2 blue wires?

[@hillbillyrv]

You will have to test the wires to see what is what. Depending on what kind of HVAC control that has. It could be a lot of work to do what you are planning. Is the RV prewired for roof units?

Can you help out again. My 1994 hunting trailer was hit by lightning. Not work be the microwave and refrigerator. I have got everything back working but the furnace I had to replace boards in everything. I put the new Digital board in my AC and I have re placed the board in my furnace but I’m not getting 12v at the furnace. My question is there any voltage that comes out of the two thermostat wires for the furnace out of the Digital AC box? I should get 12v DC at the relay on my 1994 Hydro flame furnace or/ & 10amp breaker on the furnace? I don’t think anything is coming out of my Digital AC box?

[@hillbillyrv]

12 volt DC for furnace comes from the coach. Down at the furnace you will have a red, yellow and 2 blue wires. Red pos yellow neg and blues are T-stat. one of the T-stats wires might have power on it, but that is not the main power source for the furnace.

[@BuzzJones]

What is the smallest Gauge wire can I use in my RV for the 12v Power and Negative wires. I screwed up and thought I could just dbl up 18 Gauge Thermostat Wire for the 12V Power and dbl up the same for 12V Negative ?? Uhg

Doesn't matter. Just hook them up.

[@stephenleggitt3679]

I installed my new control box this spring and the ac side works great!! However I think Camping World sold me the wrong control box. Mine doesn't have the 2 spade connectors for the furnace on it. I've got the 2 blue wires coming out of the new box wire nutted to the 2 wires for the furnace, but my furnace won't turn on. My new box has another hookup for what looks like a heat strip. My trailer doesn't have that. Is there anyways to get the furnace to work? I'm in Indiana and the fall weather and it's getting down into the low 50s at night.

[@hillbillyrv]

I don't know what they sold you. No spades for the furnace wires? 2 blue wires coming out of the control box? If you touch the furnace t stat wires together, furnace should run. If it runs then you have a control problem. If not, problem is in the furnace. Don't forget there is a delay, so you have to hold the wires together for several seconds.

[@underdogz75]

I'm changing from a coleman mack 3 to a Dominic Ac With a digital thermostat like the one you are using. there is only 4 wire going to the old control box, and the other 2 wires 12+ and 12- to furnace are down at the old analog thermostat not running up to ac control box do I have to run those 2 wire 12+ 12- to furnace up to Ac control box to finish

Acts like there should be more of a variance between on and off so not to be clicking on and off at thermostat so fast the unit in roof can’t react. Or is thermostat bad ?

Doesn’t show communication terminal like the micro air or the dometic thermostat you installed on the videos for the new control board so I’m either going to try to replace the circuit board or change relays and hopefully keep my thermostat if I can get the wiring figured out, is there anything else that could possibly make the ac trip to 20amp120v breaker? I have absolutely nothing else even plugged in or running in my Rv! Have my electrician Freind coming out today to help me check it out. Thank you so much for any advice, idk where I’d be without your videos thank you a lot

@@jacksather9417 Tell your electrician friend that the AC should only pull about 15 amps total after it is running for a while.

Hey again. I posted a question/issue earlier today but did it as a reply on someone else's post. I think you responded but I can't find that person's post -- and I didn't get an email about it. Regardless, after drawing 3 diagrams (pigtail to new Dometic B59516.xx1 AC, wires from heater/12VAC, and 6-wire mess from new LCD SZ thermostat) and matching up 12+ with 12+, t-stat with t-stat, etc, I now have functioning AC!!!! Love the video too -- exact same stuff that I have -- only I got stumped with 12VAC coming from the heater so I got out the heater installation papers and studied the wiring diagram. AC!!!! Whoop!! Thanks! Oh, if you did reply to my other questions, would it be too much to ask if you would please copy and paste it here? Thanks again! Sign me Cooling Off in 102° Heat in Texas!

Awesome. Glad you got it figured out.

Hey brother. I've changed from a Coleman to a dometic.....I had to buy a control box and t Stat. My control box is different from yours..... it has the 6 pin plug... and 6 wires about 6 inches long coming from the box..... for the furnace and 12v power. It also has 2 ports that look like a phone jack. My question is where do I tie the communication into? Thanks

[@hillbillyrv]

It sounds like you have a control box for a muti-zone thermostat. That ain't what this video is about. This video is for a single zone t-stat.

[@bkdft09]

Thanks for the response. That makes total sense.

[@bradpayne1265]

I have no furnace wires at ac unit, but had 2 wires at thermostat along with a separate wire with 7 tiny wires inside. There's also no 12v at ac unit, tried running 12v from light but don't know where to complete circuit. ( putting in new thermostat and box dometic ac.)

[@hillbillyrv]

You have a mess.

[@rodramsey9756]

I installed a new dometic a/c and digital therm. There was an analog previously in place once installed everything worked except when the heater was selected the fan in the ceiling would come on and stay on. I did hook the red and white to the new connectors and onto the side properly. Any ideas? Thank you.

[@hillbillyrv]

I believe If you watch some of my other videos on the Dometic digital AC controls. Your question will be answered.

[@adamtissandier3750]

Added the new stat everything works except for the furnace, any advice

[@hillbillyrv]

Did you hook up the furnace wires at the control box? If so, does the furnace have a problem? Is the new control box bad? Hard to answer without more info.

[@bradpayne1265]

Also my furnace doesn't work, do I have to have something plugged in there ?

[@JSTANN1982]

I bought just a thermostat not knowing I needed to change the control box in the ac unit.. what's the part number on your control box.. I don't wanna get the wrong one

This is a good video, however should i need to disconnect the 12V battery and the shore power before disconnecting units such as themostat and control box?

[@hillbillyrv]

Yes

[@jeffmacinnis1868]

Great video. I have a dometic Duo therm 57915.531 that has a ir remote control and sensor that uses a Phone cord that doesn’t work. It runs heat as well .What new digital control box model can I put in to replace it? Thanks for your time

[@hillbillyrv]

That is a good question Jeff. That translates into......I have no idea. I didn't know that dometic had an infrared remote.

[@jeffmacinnis1868]

@@hillbillyrv here is a link to the remote manualzz.com/doc/32860057/duo-therm%C2%AE-infrared-remote-control-unit The front of the control unit says comfort control 3103463 or use analog control 3107541 maybe that can help thanks again

Looking to replace a Duo-Therm part #3308448.004 will the unit you use work?? Thank you so very much for all you teach us all❤️

[@hillbillyrv]

As far as I know. The single zone digital Control/T-Stat works with all Duo-therm ACs that don't have preinstalled control boards. You need to check with Dometic to make sure. Thanks Janine

[@billreilly1981]

I have a dometic duo therm unit vintage 2006 and it doesn't have the box in the ceiling. I need help installing the CCC2 box.

[@hillbillyrv]

Thanks Bill. Why would you put a multi zone T-Stat in? Do you have more than 1 AC unit?
