Silly request-altimeter
I always like knowing the elevation as we travel. Not sure that I care about a barometer and I don’t know what T 1 and T 2 might be……..
In any case, it doesn’t work. Anyone know if there is a replacement available? I know, long shot and completely unnecessary, but when did that stop any of us?!

Bill,
CC calls this the “Weather Watch”. T1 is temperature measured at the lower dash and T2 is measured at the front bumper. You can see a silver cylinder hanging just at the dash edge below the unit that takes the inside temp, but I have never taken time to find the location of the bumper unit. Mine is dim and impossible to read in low light but works. As you I like the elevation, but I check the temperature differential more often. I have no information, but will see if I can find a name on the unit that might give us a clue to replacement.

Duplicate post…

T-1 & T-2 represent indoor and outdoor temps. Pic is from the owners manual Weather Watch section…Note the suggestion to turn the unit off, lest the bulbs burn out.

Looks like I have bulb burnout. Good info Mike.

Get elevation, compass phone app !

I have those apps but since I always have Google Maps running while driving it’s inconvenient to switch back and forth.

I want to know all that information and I have those apps too! But I’m too busy driving to thumb through my phone and find that information.
Our Pioneer nav system provides altitude, but not on the main screen where it should be. I’d also like to know various temps around the coach … OAT, inside front, inside galley, inside stateroom, water bay, and engine bay. To get all those temps I’ll probably have to rig something up on my own.
I just want to be able to glance at a screen, see that information, maybe see arrows to indicate a trend, and some kind of warning when “something” goes outside of acceptable parameters. Should be easy to do, I don’t think this stuff is rocket science nor brain surgery.

Probably not exactly rocket science, but be aware that many of the TPMS, remote thermometer sending units, bluetooth devices, wireless referigerator temp sensors, etc. all use a fairly narrow frequency band. I’m definitely not a radio guy, but if you load up with a bunch of stuff like that, you can expect to have interference and/or dropped signal flags. Add to the mix that we’re rolling down the road in what passes as a weak Faraday Cage, and one can get frustrated with the wireless equipment pretty quickly…just sayin’.
