Well, you can't just "add wires" somewhere on a thermostat - they have to connect to the expected function/terminal. You may need a different thermostat, or maybe those extra wires are for a function you don't care about, e.g. hi/Lo fan speed or whatever. What do the instructions say about each wire?
Is it practical to pull a new 4-conductor cable if really needed? Often that is near impossible in an RV.

Does one of the thermostats run on a battery by any chance?? Normally you need at least a minimum of 4 wires as an RV thermostat requires battery (12V) and ground as well as the air conditioner controls. Double check you have the correct thermostat supplied for your expected use.
