Here is a picture of the thermostat with the cover off, I need a replacement cover, searched the coach and it is nowhere to be found.

The thermostat and furnace both work and would rather keep the original instead of replacing with something newer.

Any information on the make, model of thermostat would be helpful too.

Jared - Did you happen to look at the one in the Palm Beach? I don't even recall seeing it, but it must be there somewhere.

What's the deal with missising thermostat covers? My 74 is also missing its cover. It is a suburban thermostat. So whoever is taking these please send mine back...Thanks, Glenn

I did, but it did not appear to match mine, your furnace was different as well.

LOL, this is an edit...... I did look at it, so did Tina, we both laughed because yours was missing too!!

I just took the furnace out of my 73 and will not be needing the thermostat.
It is more rectangular than the one in the pic.
But up for grabs if someone wants to pay shipping.

Hi Mike, is it the Suburban cover? It is taller than wide? If so I think it is the one that would work for me. Let me know what you need for shipping. Thanks, Glenn

Thanks, I will measure the base of mine to see if it is the same. Might be some numbers on it we can reference. I really guess it doesn't matter much if you are going to send the whole thermostat...can just replace mine and keep as a spare if different.. Let me know what you need for shipping. Also I will try and look at my furnace today just to see if it runs and what condition it might be in in case you have any parts before you get rid of it..Thanks, Glenn

Hi Mike, here's what I could use...thermostat is 2 3/4 wide X 4 1/2 tall, also if you still have the furnace I could use the screw on cap from the front of the unit where you open up the door to light it, it covers the hole to view the flame/lighter. Let me know what shipping for the thermostat and cover will be if you have it. I think you can send it via USPS Priority Mail for one set price. Thanks, Glenn

I didn't remember to look at it last night, I just asked my wife to take a pic and send it to me.
I already got rid of the furnace unit itself, sorry.

I have a thermostat for a Suburban furnace out of a 74 GMC Sequoia. Measures 2 3/4 X 4 1/2. Looks to be in good shape. $5 plus shipping. Anyone want it.
