Dometic Connect Essential Thermostat v1 | 4471011652 | Black

⭐ Manages Multiple Heat Sources — Heat Pump + Furnace

Important capability: the Connect Essential Thermostat v1 can manage multiple heat sources simultaneously:

• RV-C protocol: Heat pump AND furnace operation available

⭐ Automatic Heat Source Switchover

Meaningful smart operation: priority is given to heat pump operation until the outdoor ambient temperature reaches near freezing — then the system automatically switches over to furnace operation (if equipped). Efficient use of electric heat when viable, propane backup when needed.

Fan Speed Behavior in Heat Mode

• Low / High / Turbo: Fan operates continuously at selected speed
• Auto (furnace): Fan is off — allows furnace to control airflow
• Auto (heat pump): Fan cycles on/off, adjusting speed based on temperature difference

Single or Multi-Zone Control

Whether your rig has one AC zone or several, the Connect Essential Thermostat v1 handles it — flexible, room-by-room comfort management from a single thermostat.

Full-Featured, Intuitive Operation

Digital LED display with soft-touch buttons for simple operation. Six complete operation modes:

• Auto, Cool, Fan Only, Heat, Turbo, Dry

Adjustable fan speed — Low / High / Turbo / Auto — with Turbo mode for fast cool-down when you need to drop the temperature quickly.

Temperature Offset Configuration

The thermostat can be configured with a temperature offset ranging from 1 to 9 degrees — meaningful for fine-tuning temperature accuracy or matching a preferred reading. Refer to the installation manual for offset configuration.

⭐ RV-C Communication

Uses RV-C communication protocol — the standard for RV coach networking. Ensures reliable performance with the FreshJet 5 Heat Pump platform.

Sleek, Modern Design — Black

A slim profile and clean digital LED display in a black finish give the Connect Essential v1 a modern look that upgrades the appearance of your RV interior — not just its functionality.
