Arrives before Christmas 
If your AC is running and you trip a breaker by turning on an appliance, this soft start fixes that. It's hardwired for security and keeps your RV safe from surges. And it lets you monitor power in real time from your phone.
A soft start device reduces the initial inrush current when an AC compressor kicks on. Instead of that harsh power spike that can trip breakers or overload generators, the soft start gradually ramps up the compressor's motor, making it easier to start an AC unit on limited power sources (like small generators, shore power, or inverters).
When summer heat hits hard, two air conditioners make all the difference. This hardwired module is connected inside your 50-amp RV to run two AC units. Because it cuts your AC's compressor spikes by up to 70 percent, you can run your AC and other appliances together with no interruptions or tripped breakers. Redundancy means there are two independent circuits inside the device. Each one handles one leg of your 50-amp RV power cord. If one circuit fails, the other keeps working so you don't lose all your power or air conditioning, which is going to be great for those of you who camp in hot weather or are full-timers! If you want to optimize your setup, you can even program the startup power. This unit is designed to be waterproof, UV-proof, and anti-tamper, so it's ideal for long-term installation and year-round travel. Install it once, and you're good to go.
Built-in surge protection guards your entire RV against voltage spikes of up to 5,250 joules, shielding all connected appliances and electronics from harm while you camp or travel. To get the full benefits of redundancy and surge protection, be sure you're plugged into a 50-amp hookup.
The mobile app makes it easy to check real-time voltage and status for your power system. View and adjust settings right from your phone for added control and peace of mind. Plus, if you're a DIYer or technician, this device has diagnostic LED indicators and self-check functions inside the unit to make troubleshooting simple.
