Option for Controlling Standalone RV Furnace  

Updated 11/06/2025 | Published 01/21/2025

Question:

Hi. I got rid of my dead brisk ii ac and replaced it with new eco-cool heat pump/ac that has its own wall control but does not control my dometic small propane furnace that was controlled by a Dometic touch lcd thermostat. Can this thermostat be used just to control the furnace only?

Hey Alain, I think what you are looking for is our Dometic Furnace Controller part # DMC54FR instead as this was designed to control a furnace by itself. The other thermostat also has furnace controls as well but for that purpose it needs a control box as well.

Would the furnace controller work for what you are looking for?

Hey Alain, did the Dometic Furnace Controller end up working to run your propane furnace on its own? Knowing how it performed could help others trying to keep their furnace separate from a new AC system.

@JamesonC. No it did not, but all I needed to do was to buy buying a simple "on-off" battery operated thermostat to which I connected the two red power wires coming from the furnace...and voilà. Added benefit is that I was able to find a much better placing for the thermostat. Hope this helps others.
