  No.  Curious, why would you need one?

  Alde does have an accessory sensor that connects to the Thermostat for out side temps.  Don't know if Elsie Miller in NU Camp parts has them, or can get them.  We got our battery back up kit from her so that we do not loose our Alde settings when we shut off the Battery disconnect.  I do know that Alde says they only sell to dealers and not owners.  Have thought about the outside sensor and know the Thermostat does have the place for it.  We currently use a indoor / outdoor thermostat/ weather station type.  Kinda nice to know the outside temp at times.

  Thank you @atlasb. I had not thought about it loosing settings when battery is shut off so will check with nuCamp about that too. Just thought it would be nice to see at a glance what both the indoor and outdoor temps are. I am a weather geek so will probably be adding something a bit more sophisticated in time.

  We have a folding camp kitchen table of the type you get at REI or LLBean. It is set up under the awning where we do our cooking. The camp kitchen we have has a back rack for utensils and stuff and we hang it from that. You want it out of the sun.
  
  it was mildly interesting to see that it was 36F in the morning on our first camping trip of the season while we were toasty warm inside with the Alde on. Not really a must have item, but I do like my techy doodads.
