Indoor Outdoor Thermometer suggestions

I’m looking for suggestions for a good, reasonably priced indoor outdoor thermometer. The ones I see online don’t look like they would attach securely to the outside of the trailer.

Go to walmart or walmart.com and pick out one of the weather stations they sell. I have one that has two remote temp sensors so I have outside temp and a sensor in the basement near the holding tanks on our 5th wheel.

If you have a good tpms that will show readings when not moving you already have an outdoor sensor. You will even be able to tell which side the sun is on. For indoor temp we got a digital clock with time, temp, day and date. More than we need to know but it works well.

We gave up on outdoor thermometer's. Most of the time they're not right because the sun moves around and it can be real close to the sun but still in the shade and vice versa. Out in the sun they show real high temps, while in the shade it can show much colder.
We bought a digital solar battery powered clock that shows date, time temp, etc.
For outside temp we just use Weather Channel or Accu Wheather apps for our local.

we have a Radio Shack one and its wireless. it was in the trailer when we bought it used. the pick up sensor is mounted in front under the fiberglass cover for my propane tanks. it reads indoor and outdoor temps, humidity, date and who no's what, but it works good. the only thing i DON'T like is its digital the large black letters on a gray background are difficult to see if i were to buy another one it would be lighted.

I made a video on setting one up:

I just used a cheap $10 Accurite from Wal Mart. Because of the placement of the sensor (under the propane tank cover), It works great. Very pleased with it. I got another, and placed the remote unit in the refr to monitor the temp there- That one works great also.
