I just ordered the Waggle lite thermometer on Amazon Prime.
Paid $129.99 and its scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
I'll check back after our trip next week with how well it worked.
Thanks again.
FWIW, Walmart has them on sale for $99.

you want Wi-Fi and a "house" router so that you can leave the RV connected to the internet and monitor using the internet from miles away.
Im not at all tech savvy, Could I use my wifes cell phone as a hotspot and monitor the thermometer from my phone?
Likely yes but again you want Wi-Fi Thermometers and both phones in "hotspot" mode. You may even be able to link the phones so that you actually operate your wife's phone from your phone (like Team Viewer on two comptuers) I do not know.. I'm not that great at phones. my field is radio communications which is why I know blue tooth is very short range. You'd need something that connects to Wi-Fi.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

yes. good plan.
Or you could install a generator auto start and solve both problems of monitoring and pet overheat risk in one solution for a little more than a wifi thermometer.
