Coleman-Mach upgrade to TrueAir

I have been researching this for a year and cannot find the answer.
I have a 2000 Adventurer with Coleman-Mach LP heat/AC thermostat and want to upgrade to TrueAir LP/Ele heat /AC. Is this possible? How? I have attached the pictures of the thermostat we have and the one we want to go to if possible.

The furnace is not working right now and it would be great to be able to use electric heat until we fix the furnace.
I'm using a space heater for the time being.

That thermostat is meant to be used with the basement AC with heat pump. You can swap to that thermostat, but unless you have a heat pump, the electric feature won't work.

The way the original stat looks you only have lo heat, no heat pump or heat strip, check connections to lo furnace, jumper the control wires

In 1999 I bought a new Winnie Chieftain which had the same thermostat that you are trying to replace and I'm pretty sure your 2000 is the same wiring. After 2 yrs the original stat started acting up and I wanted to replace it with a digital set-back type, so I spent a bunch of time checking the function of each wire. Below is the wiring conversion I used for the digital stat I bought at Home Depot. I'm almost positive that the wiring is the same for the TrueAir and the old Mach. It should be straight plug and play.
I see the jpg isn't very clear, so here's a link to download a pdf:
