It has an integrated bypass connector that prevents the unit from overheating and reduces the risk of the capacitor exploding and risk of fire. It is also IP65-rated against dust and water... view full answer...
Hey Jacob, the SoftStartRV Soft Start for Single Zone Air Conditioner Setup # SSR54FR will work just fine with 8k BTU AC units like you have. It would not cause any damage to any components. There isn't a minimum BTU unit that this needs to work with so you'd have no problems. view full answer...
The SoftStartRV Soft Start # SSR54FR was designed and tested for all RVs and motorhomes. So you are correct that it can be used for a Furrion A/C as long as it is a single zone A/C.

Hey Joe, thanks for reaching out!
The SoftStartUp Plug-In Soft Start for RVs # SSR64FR will work for 2 AC units, so if you only plan on booting up 2 of them then you'll be fine.

Since these are a permanent installation you won't have to remember to plug them up prior to starting up your AC kits. view full answer...

This act states, in part, that unless the installation and/or the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided. In the real world though, it's certain that a manufacturer such as Dometic would have more than a few attorneys at their disposal that could make simply replacing an AC unit less expensive than fighting a warranty denial.
All this being said, SoftStart RV states on their website, and... view full answer...
