Default HEATING THERMOSTAT REPLACEMENT

Recently purchased an older mobile home on location as a vacation pad. I
want to replace
the heating/cooling thermostat with a new heating only unit, it never had an
A/C and never will. Present wiring to the old unit is one wire to W and one
wire to RH, one wire
is looped from RH to RC. My new thermostat has a place for two wires, W and
R. What
do I do now.
Thanks

When the thermostat is only for heating it has no RC terminal, so you just
install the wires on R and W

Red wire goes on R, white wire goes on W. That was easy!
