Our 2012 Winnie Access has a simple thermostat (which I love), but lacks the light up feature when setting the temp. Are there any out there that could replace this one and light up when I start adjusting the temp?

Walmart sells a Hunter that uses two AA batteries for ~$20. You will need to add a switch so you can have hi/lo fan speed. Search for thermostat. There is a write-up on how to set it up.

Ours has a directional ceiling light above the info panel which helps. On our 01 Adventurer, you had to turn the hall light on to see the thermo to set it which drove me nuts, so I bought a small 1 AAA battery flashlight and wrapped velcro around it and stuck it on the panel next to the thermostat. Worked great!

That ended up being our solution as well. Simple.

X2, and the little light on the key chain is good too.
