The EasyTouch RV 353 model is a touchscreen thermostat with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth control. These thermostats were designed to directly replace FurrionTM branded single-zone and multi-zone OEM thermostats. Please use section EasyTouch RV 353 Models and Compatible Replacements to make sure that this model is right for you. EasyTouch RV 353 Models and Compatible Replacements EasyTouch RV 353 can be purchased in a black or white finish. Table 1 describes the two available part numbers for purchase.
Installing the Thermostat Safety First, it is recommended to remove both AC and DC power from your system. Unplug your RV from shore power and turn off any converters or generators to remove AC power. Open your 12-volt DC bus breaker or fuse to de-energize your thermostat. This greatly reduces the chance of any harmful electrical discharge, as well as preventing accidentally opening a fuse. Removing the Old Thermostat The OEM thermostats have a front assembly that detaches from a back plate.
Once you know which wires match to which, begin by using a small flathead screwdriver (not provided) or similar to loosen a wire’s associated screw terminal. Slide the wire out of the terminal and out of the backplate. Ensure that about ½” of insulation is stripped from the end of the wire. Use wire strippers (not provided) or similar to remove the insulation if needed. Open both levers of a connector and fully insert this wire in one end and close the associated lever.
Mounting the Thermostat Step 1: Locate the mounting buttons horizontally across the hole with the smaller diameter against the wall. Step 4: Remove mounting tab before mounting on the wall. Step 2: Screw in one screw and level the buttons so the display will be straight when installed. Step 5: Aligning the buttons with the holes in the back of the display. Press the display against the wall and gently slide the display down to lock it in place.
Initial Setup Instructions The thermostat must know what is available in the system to control. This is found automatically from the A/C control boards in the ceiling. There is no special software configuration needed to begin setting desired operation. See section Operating the Thermostat for getting started. Connecting Remotely EasyTouch RV can be operated entirely by the touchscreen, however you can also communicate, monitor, and modify operation of it wirelessly using the EasyTouch RV application.
Operating the Thermostat Main Screen This screen is where most time is spent using the thermostat. This screen allows you to set and monitor the desired operation of the thermostat and is shown in Figure 1. (1) Inside temperature This is the temperature reading for the space that the thermostat is trying to temper, determined by a local sensor. “Inside” means it is using a sensor inside the thermostat. “Inside(R)” indicates that a Remote sensor is in use. This system always uses a remote sensor.
(7) Operational Mode Pressing the mode button changes the current operating mode depending on what is available in your system. All possible modes are listed below. See the Operational Modes section for more details. Fan Only Cool Only Dry Mode Furnace Only Aqua Only Auto Mode (8) Fan Speed Pressing the fan button selects how the fan will operate in conjunction with the (7) Operational Mode.
Operational Modes All modes operate the overhead fan and/or a heating or cooling cycle based on the current heating or cooling set-point, relative to the inside temperature. Fans and Fan Only Mode This mode lets the fan to operate based on the chosen (8) Fan Speed. This will circulate the air without operating any heating or cooling cycles. Fan Only Mode Fan Speed Cool Only Mode This mode only runs a cool cycle to maintain the cooling set-point in the space.
Dry Mode This mode attempts to remove humidity from the space using a set algorithm. Table 7 describes this algorithm. Environment Cycle Operation Inside ≤ Setpoint Compressor ON for 10 minutes and OFF for 6 minutes Inside > Setpoint Compressor ON Fan Operation Always Low Table 7 - Dry Mode Operation Auto Modes This mode will automatically switch between heating and cooling cycles as needed.
Local Weather and Local Time Local weather is displayed on the main screen and shown visibly in section (2) Local Weather under section Main Screen. Tapping the button will reveal more detailed weather information of the last received weather data. The local temperature is displayed in the lower left corner of the main screen, as shown in section (13) Outside Temperature.

Use this whenever you reset the Bluetooth Password Reset password to your app account to regain remote access to the thermostat. Temperature Reading Adjustment This setting allows you to calibrate the Inside temperature reading with an offset.
Dip Switches This setting is used to configure your thermostat’s operational settings and is slightly different for each EasyTouch RV model. Some simply display how the air conditioner control board that EasyTouch RV communicates with is configured. Others allow for telling EasyTouch RV what appliances it has connected to it.
