What do you mean by 'inside fan'?

Thanks for the info.
Be aware that the manual at the link provided is from 17 years ago, and may not accurately reflect current technology with the newer heat pumps. First page at the bottom shows 10/00, October of 2000 which is the publish date.

Did not notice that. I will get a look at mine in a day or two now that the rain has stopped.

The fan that blows air out of the vents in the rv. It will stop while in defrost. Normally it last ~10 minutes

Sonofcy,
Were you ever successful in figuring out the installation. Got a 3811MS a few months ago, with the temp swings here in ABQ, Nest is a must. Any help would be much appreciated.

Not yet. Been busy with a bunch of other stuff. The problem is it is probably inside the wall behind the closet or the control panel above it. I will need to get in there to install my solar (not the pos that Keystone installs) so when I do that it will either be visible or I will likely give up since I have no other clues.

I found where the elevant wires might be, but I am not in a frame of mind to tackle it. Today I get an email from a kickstarter project launched today. It is an adapter plate to go between the Dometic wiring and the Nest wiring. I am interested but not for the $300 asking price. I am not sure the project will get funded as they are looking for about $325,000 over 35 days. I have another way to tackle it that I will investigate this coming spring. If anyone is interested in implementing whatever solution I come up with if any, send me a private message.

I congratulate you on this initiative, but I am not ready to invest close to $300 on this, a tad too much in my mind. Under $100 you would have traction.

I would suspect, if you have indeed figured out the issues with the 24V, the 2 speed AC and the C wire, it may also work with other smart models, like the Ecobee or GLAS.

Good luck - I'll be following this. In my coach I have iN-Command by ASA controlling my HVAC and am quite happy - not as granular as my Ecobee at home, but it's great.
