Stop Fighting Your Heater

If your Airstream Basecamp feels too hot…
If your heater won’t shut off…
Or you’re constantly setting the temperature lower than it should be…

You’re not crazy—the thermostat sensor placement is the problem.

Mounted in a cold exterior wall, the factory sensor reads incorrectly—causing your heater to overrun.

This upgrade fixes it.

What This Does

This relocation housing moves your Truma temperature sensor out of the cold wall and into open air—so it reads the actual cabin temperature.

  • Eliminates false cold readings
  • Prevents overheating cycles
  • Stabilizes interior temperature
  • Improves overall comfort in your camper

The ventilated design allows ambient air to surround the probe instead of cold wall air. 

Why It Works

The factory setup traps the sensor in a temperature-biased environment.
This design:

  • Pulls the sensor into the cabin
  • Surrounds it with real airflow
  • Removes wall-temperature interference

Result: Your heater behaves the way it should have from the factory.

Fast, No-Hassle Installation

Install in minutes—no special tools required.

  1. Remove the sensor from the wall
  2. Thread wires through the housing
  3. Mount the extension
  4. Reconnect and insert the probe

That’s it. Done.

If your Basecamp heater is acting up, this isn’t just an upgrade—it’s the fix.
