The Best RV Soft Start Solution: Keep Your RV Cool or Warm, No Matter the Power Source

Sponsored by SoftStartUSA

One SOFTSTARTUP Plug-In Controller Works with Any RV A/C Unit – Even on Generator Power

Seasoned RVers know that air conditioners and heat pumps, along with other energy-hungry appliances, impact RV electrical power management. When a rooftop A/C starts up, it often draws a surge of electricity. If there isn’t enough power available, it can shut down other appliances. That’s why an RV soft start solution is essential.

A popular fix has been soft starters that are installed directly on each air conditioner. The SoftStartRV product from SoftStartUSA has become an industry leader due to its premium quality and robust technical support.

SoftStartUSA has made things even easier by introducing the new SoftStartUp Advanced A/C Soft Starter. It’s the first “plug ‘n play” soft starter that powers multiple rooftop units on limited power. All with just one plug-in product!

How Does This RV Soft Start Device Work?

Unlike most other RV soft start devices, which must be wired directly to each A/C unit, the “plug & play” SoftStartUp design requires no wiring diagrams or electrical connections. It simply plugs into the main power supply.

All an RV owner has to do is plug the RV into the SoftStartUp. If the RV uses a surge arrestor (e.g., RV surge protector) for campground power pedestals, the SoftStartUp will plug into the surge arrestor to maximize power protection.

The new SoftStartUp product is sized for RVs with 50-amp power centers. A free 30-to-50-amp dogbone adapter is included for RVs with 30-amp power packages.

The SoftStartUp controller plugs directly into a 50-amp or 30-amp power source. Only one SoftStartUp is needed, even if your RV has two or more A/C units. When one A/C is running and a second unit kicks on, SoftStartUp reduces the power surge to the starting unit. This keeps electricity flowing to the rest of the RV without interruption.

Note: This also applies to RV heat pump units. Many A/C systems include heat pumps, ensuring smooth operation for both cooling and heating.

In other words, say goodbye to unnecessary startup power surges and hello to a smoother, more reliable power management experience for your entire RV.

Off-Grid Power Efficiency

With limited power sources like 2200-watt generators or solar-energized batteries, a SoftStartUp soft starter improves power efficiency even in off-grid conditions. By reducing the startup amps of the A/C, it frees up power for other vital appliances such as refrigerators or medical devices – all while keeping the climate control system running smoothly.

With larger generators or two small generators in parallel, this RV soft start offers even more options for running A/C or heat pump units alongside multiple other appliances, which can be crucial in “no power” emergency situations.

Real-World Results

Seasoned RVers and industry experts have field-tested the SoftStartUp, and the results speak for themselves.

Mike Sokol, a 25+ year RV electrical expert known as Mr. RV Electricity, found the product’s engineering to deliver impressive results.

“I was able to start and run two RV air conditioners on a 30-amp power pedestal and run two A/Cs on my 3000-watt Honda generator for hours,” said Sokol. “Very impressive. I think it’s really cool.”

Jim Hill of R&J RV Adventures appreciates its easy, right-out-of-the-box plug-in installation and the fact that it started the RV A/C without interrupting power to other appliances that would normally shut down during A/C startup.

Thomas Baity, host of Home on the Hitch, said the SoftStartUp worked flawlessly as it started his 2 RV A/C units on a 3,000-watt generator.

A Simple Solution for Reliable RV Power Management

The SoftStartUp revolutionizes RV power management by offering a hassle-free, plug-and-play solution to common startup power issues. Whether you’re running one or multiple air conditioners (or heat pump units), this innovative device ensures smooth, uninterrupted power flow – no matter if you’re connected to campground power, a generator, or even off-grid solar batteries. With SoftStartUp, RVers can confidently power their appliances without worrying about tripping breakers or losing power to other devices.

SoftStartUSA has long been recognized as an industry leader in RV power management, and the SoftStartUp continues that legacy by making power management easier, more efficient, and accessible for all RVers.
