Gentlemen,
I am seeking advice on what roof top air-conditioner. I have 3 original units that work great, but I believe they have no thermostat ability. We have dogs which are often left in the coach and the wife would like to have a thermostat in lieu of high, medium and low settings.
The original units work very well at cooling. We are looking for a replacement that is reliable, low profile, quiet, good looking inside and out and can utilize a thermostat.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Tom K.

Mine are H M L and have thermostats. The H M L is fan speed.

Tom,
The units probably do have thermostats as in I have never seen a stand-alone unit that did not have one. It is probably uncalibrated but it is none the less a thermostat. On roof mount units, that is usually part of the lower cover. I have seen some where it was just a long shaft, but that is rare.
If you want to add another and in a better location, you will need to break into that circuit and ad a pair of wires to lead to the location of your choice. When you have that, then look for a "line voltage cooling thermostat. Do remember that the pair of wires you add will most likely be at line voltage (120VAC) and be sure to insulate and protect for that.
You can get a lot fancier if you want to control more than the single unit, but even that is possible.
