The hot season is here, and we have a solution to keep your RV’s power system cool as the temperatures climb!
Start Your Compressor Smoothly:
During initial startup, your RV roof air conditioner compressor can spike to over 52 amps which could overload a traditional 30-amp circuit and cause the breaker to trip.
With SoftStart RV technology you can reduce the initial amp draw by over 70% which means you can run two roof air conditioners on a 30-amp circuit or even one roof air on a residential 20-amp circuit.







Will this work on a microwave/convection oven?
Hello Thomas,
Thank you for contacting us. Before the experts can answer your question they will need to know the make, model and the year of the RV? Please resubmit your question including that information.

Well one soft start take care of my one air conditioner on my RV?
Hello Russell,
Thank you for contacting us.
Each AC unit requires its own SoftStart so if you only have one AC unit, you only need one SoftStart.

The soft starts are cheaper on Amazon
This spring i installed one on each of my Coleman 15000 units and with that said i can run everything in my RV on a 30 amp circuit and never have an issue including the Microwave and running each unit together.
I highly recommend installing them and with the help of the folks anyone can do it within 20 minutes.
I have one ac on top and one window unit the top is a 15.000 and other is a 6000
I would like to know how much it costs? And will this work with window AC units?
30 amp for 2 roof air conditioners
How do I find someone to install the SoftStart? My rv service shop was not interested, did not bother to read info I emailed them.
SOFT START RV
How is this possible, what is the cost?
2 A/C units
I have 3 AC units, do I need one for each one? Where do they mount?
Hello Dale,
Thank you for contacting us.
Yes, you will need one for each AC unit. They take place of a capacitor so you will have to remove the shroud on top and open the access panel to the capacitors. You remove just one I believe and then mount the Softstart to the side of the housing. The mounting location is different for each AC model. It is fairly easy to install but each AC unit will need its own SoftStart installed. I will share the link to the installation manual that breaks down how to do it for each model.

The soft starts are cheaper on Amazon, I purchased ours for $230.00
Ticket 42852 Can my Westinghouse 2500 portable generator start and run my a/c with this device?
Hello Charles,
Thank you for your patience. We have received the following response from our expert regarding your question:
The outlet on your generator is rated for 20 amps. The AC in your camper is on a 20 amp circuit so technically you should be fine running the AC. The problem is with everything else in the camper. You will need to have everything else in the camper turned off for the generator to work properly and to prevent the breaker from tripping. If you aren’t running anything else, you should be fine. The soft start limits the peak amperage so it will be more around 14 amps when running. This does give you more room to use other things in the camper but you still have to be careful.
Sincerely,
Dan

Getting the Startup plug and play adapter soon. Going to test and review soon. This seems like a game changer especially for anyone not confident or tech savvy.
