Absolutely wonderful! I can run both AC’s on a 30amp pedestal with no problem. My trailer is a 50 amp rig. If I plug into separate legs at my sisters house I can still run both on 110 volts. Either one will run on a single 110 by itself.

Have had them on other units and like the way they help with the A/C start up.

See what our Experts say about this SoftStartRV RV AC Soft Start

  • What Is The Purpose Of A Soft Start Start Capacitor And Should There Be One On Each AC
    Hi Jeff, A start capacitor/soft start is essentially just a box that holds a charge to help with the large demand when the AC unit kicks on. This will help your units run easier for a longer lifespan so it's a good idea to install them on each unit. If your units aren't drawing as much power at start up you'll put less demand on the system as a whole, minimizing the chance that you'll experience a voltage drop. We don't have a 3pk but we do have a 2pk # SSR44FR and single # SSR54FR. For...

  • Recommended Smartstart for a Dometic Brisk Air Conditioner
    The only type of Smartstart set up we have for a Dometic Brisk Air Unit is the SoftStartRV Soft Start for Single Zone Air Conditioner Setup item # SSR54FR. It'll accomplish the same thing by reducing the amps needed when your AC kicks on. You'll just need to wire it in. If you have a dual zone system you'll need the SoftStartRV Soft Start for Dual Zone Air Conditioner Setup item # SSR44FR. I have linked a diagram below so you can see how to get it set up. If you have any additional questions...

  • Comparing Micro Air and SoftStart RV AC Unit Soft Start Kits
    Hey Gary, so we don't carry that brand of soft start for RV AC units but we do have the Softstart brand like the part # SSR54FR for a single zone or part # SSR44FR for a dual zone setup. These reduce the amperage requirement on startup by 70 percent and also get rid of that super loud clunking noise you hear as well. The Micro Air does claim to reduce it by 75 percent but I've also read their customer service is pretty challenging...

  • Is There a Difference Between Buying The Dual SoftStartRV Kit and 2 Individual Kits?
    There is no difference between buying two of the Single Kits # SSR54FR or a Dual Kit # SSR44FR. You would end up with all the same components, we just simply created the dual kit to make it easier since several RV's now come with at least 2 AC's.

  • Why Does My 6,000-Watt Portable RV Inverter Generators # 333-0003-2-0007 Shut Off When Adding 2nd AC
    Even the largest generators are going to struggle to start a second air conditioner while the first one is running. This is due to an air conditioner pulling 1300-1800 running watts, and then when your second one kicks on it is pulling 3600+ starting watts. If you do not have a start capacitor installed on your AC units you should install # SSR44FR on your units. These capacitors store power to reduce the starting watts needed, and will give you generator a fighting chance of powering the AC's.

    I'd be happy to help! #1 - What you're looking for is the Progressive Dynamics Lithium 75A 4500 Series Inteli-Power Converter Section # PD4575LICSV for your converter. When it comes to charging and protecting your trailer and tow vehicle batteries you can either add a disconnect so you physically disconnect the battery bank, or you can add a smart charger like the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D that reads, adjusts, and maintains your trailer battery bank so it gets...

  • Troubleshooting WatchDog E2 Error Code
    The E2 error of your Watchdog part # HU27FR means you have a voltage issue on line 2. The Watchdog has determined that the voltage coming in has either exceeded 132 volts or is below 104 volts. If you press the Live Reading button you can see what the voltage is at this time. Most likely it's low due to the AC drawing a lot. A Softstart will help and since you have a 2 AC setup you'd need the part # SSR44FR.

  • Will The SoftStartRV Soft Start Fit Under Cover On Dometic Penguin II?
    Yes, there is enough room under the covers for your Dometic Penguin II AC's to install the pair of SoftStartRV Soft Starts # SSR44FR. The main unit comes with a good length of wiring so it does not have to mount where your current electrical components mount and can mount where there is more room.

  • Can I Install Larger Breaker to Keep AC Unit From Tripping Breaker on RV
    It's really tempting to just install a larger breaker when faced with frustrating situations like your AC tripping the breaker every time it kicks on but going that route creates safety concerns since the breakers are there to keep excessive power from running through your electrical system. Be sure you have other things turned off prior to starting up your AC to reduce the amount of power pulling through your circuits. If that doesn't help then what I recommend doing instead is adding...
