Need some HVAC climate control wiring assistance

97 34' Fleetwood southwind storm
Dual AC and single heater
I'm in the process of updating the RV and replacing most of the electronics. I'm a little confused the wiring requirements. I have a single controller for both AC's and heater in the bedroom along with I'm assuming a temp sensor in the bedroom and in the living room. Anywhere I can find a wiring diagram that would explain this? I assumed the temp sensors went directly to the controller but it appears to only have 6 wires, I expected a lot more than that.

Welcome to iRV2 .

Could you add some info on your roof A/C units ( manufacturer ) furnace , and the type of wall t'stat you have ; ( Duo Therm 4 button ? ) to your post .

Is some installations the front A/C unit has a master control board and all communication from the t'stat goes to the front unit then through the rest of the coach from there.

I can't find much on them. I can see a tag with RV Products Inc on the rear AC unit under the cover. The controller is an Intellitec.

Does your thermostat look like this?



This is the controller.



The wiring of the controller.

That's it. Thanks for the help. I'll look this over. This is a little more complex that I thought it would be. I'm guessing there's not any easy update piece for this?

Spyder, did you replace the original duo thermostat with two Honeywell conventional home thermostats?

It's complex because that system controls a/c load shedding (30A power management) with the thermostat function.

I kept the original thermostat to keep the load management functions of the AC's. The residential thermostat controls the original thermostat with more precision and turns off the fans when the desired temp is reached. I usually set the original thermostat to low fans and the temp slider all the way down.

It seemed to me the way the original thermostat would not turn off the fans when desired temp is reached, it would blow moisture back into the coach instead of letting it drain off the evap coils.
