Hey Jason, thanks for getting in touch. For a Dometic AC unit I recommend the SoftStartRV Soft Start for Single Zone Air Conditioner Setup # SSR54FR. This is a universal soft start, and it is known to work with the Dometic units.
The chart below shows an example of the results you can expect.
Your camper is a single zone? Or do you have more than one AC unit running off the same controller?
