Reduce the startup power demand on your 2 air conditioner setup by up to 70 percent and eliminate that loud, clunking compressor noise. Start and run both ACs and other appliances without the fear of tripping a breaker or overloading your generator.
Soft start devices reduce the initial inrush current when your AC compressors kick on. Instead of a harsh power spike that can trip breakers or overload generators, the soft start gradually ramps up the motors, so you can use your air conditioners with small generators, limited hookups, or even a 20-amp household outlet.
Tired of your air conditioners tripping the breaker or waking you up with loud, clunking starts? SoftStartRV makes startup quiet and smooth, so your RV stays comfortable and your sleep stays undisturbed, even when you're boondocking or sharing power with appliances.
Run one air conditioner on a small generator, 20-amp outlet, or use the two soft starts in this kit to power two ACs on a 30-amp hookup. Keep your coffee maker, water heater, or other appliances running at the same time without fear of tripping a breaker or losing your cool, even at high altitudes.
By smoothing out every start, these soft starts limit strain on your AC motors and compressors, helping prevent wear and keep your systems reliable for the long haul. The built-in start capacitor and bypass contactor help ensure safe operation and prevent overheating.
Installs vertically using pre-drilled holes and 3M adhesive backing. All the hardware you need is included. Three diagnostic LEDs on each unit show you system status and make troubleshooting easy.
These soft starts are IP65-rated against dust and water spray, and are made to resist vibration and flames. Tested for more than 45,000 hours of use, they're ready for road trips, off-grid campsites, and wherever your travels take you.
One package was short some connectors but overall they came ready to install. I personally cut wires shorter and used wire nuts to install.
The package arrived within a few days of ordering. Installation was very easy. Within a week we were camping at a lake in Southern NM where the daytime temps were 100+. We ran 1 A/C on a 3400w generator and had no issues at all. When the real heat of the day kicked in, we ran both 15,000 A/Cs on two 3400w generators. No problem at all. We used to trip breakers and overload generators constantly. Not one issue so far. Great product!
Seems like a quality product. Wiring was heavy gauge. Install was simple enough with the Dometic model PDF download. Both units worked perfectly right away. Even draws less amps during runtime. I was only expecting less amps on startup. I am very happy with my purchase.
The SoftStarts work great, and are easy to install once you get the installation page from SoftStart for your particular a/c unit. Very good directions, and worked great right from the start. This is the third time I have installed these on different RV's, and have never had a problem with them.
Read lots of reviews before buying. The install video looks easy enough.
Easy install, no more hard compressor hits at all. No complaints at all.
Works great and great communication

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.
