I bought a RV that I want to keep from freezing. I bought a Thermo Cube TC-3 that was suppose to turn on my 500W heater at 35 degrees and turn off at 45 degrees.

It is below freezing now, 27 degrees F, and it didn't work. The only thing that saved my water system from freezing is that I set the propane heater to come on at 33 degrees. I have 30Amp service where I park my truck and camper and prefer to use that for heat instead of propane.
I looked for other similar devices on Amazon but the other device is also unreliable. It seems that 20% of these temperature enable relays do not work or don't work at the correct temperature.
This is an alternative but it gets 1 star reviews by 20%

What I am looking for is something simple and reliable.
I don't want to buy a PLC just to turn on and off an AC relay.
I know someone has solved this problem before.
I looked at Omega but they didn't have anything this simple.
BTW, I am posting less because I go boondocking. No TV, internet, electricity, water, cell service but perhaps one rock&roll radio station.
