RV AC Soft Start - SoftStartRV

Hey Mike! The Soft Start Kit for Coleman-Mach RV Air Conditioners #CM56RR is designed to work with 45000, 47000, and 48000 air conditioners. Based on those numbers I'm assuming you those are 38000 series, but the model number doesn't always…

Hey Douglas, the correct Dometic Smart Start for your Dometic Penguin II is the #DMC52RR which is for the Penguin II with the control mounted under vent assembly like you have.

Hi Scott, yes, the SoftStartRV part #SSR54FR is the correct soft start kit for your setup. Based on your model number B59516.711J0, you have a Dometic Brisk II 15,000 BTU unit, which is a standard single zone rooftop AC and a perfect match for that…

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. Some of the Furrion models already have a start capacitor. If you are…
