In my 2016 Sportsmen Classic 190 I have a Suburban Furnace and a really basic Suburban thermostat that doesn't even have temperatures for the heat setting - just lines. It also seems sort of tight on its tolerance - really hot when set to a given setting, then I push it down one line and its too cold. I decided to just put the classic Honeywell round thermostat in its place (the best selling thermostat out there) but alas it would not work - the furnace never fired up. So back to the OEM Suburban Thermostat. Seemed like it should work as there are just two wires - one red, one white - but no luck. I noted in the furnace installation manual this note: "The thermostat used with this unit must have NO voltage output to return leg when there is not a call for heat or in the "OFF" setting". Which I'm pretty sure the Honeywell does - at its basic a thermostat is just a simple switch, but there must be something about the stock Suburban thermostat. So here's my question - anyone successfully replace their thermostat and if so what model did you use? I don't want anything fancy like a programmable or electronic - just something that has better control indicators and a bit more range of motion on the setting dial so I can be more precise with my temperature setting. Having used the round Honeywell's in the past, that's my preference.
