It has Never Been Easier to Add a Soft Start Solution to Your RV’s Air Conditioner
Let’s face it. Even though RV air conditioners have become much more efficient and effective in recent years, they still require plenty of power to function properly. This is especially true during the initial start-up phase when extra power is required just to turn the unit on. However, adding a soft start device to your A/C can significantly lower power draw and prevent a lot of wear and tear. And thanks to the latest devices from SoftStartRV, installing such an upgrade is easier than ever.

Running your air conditioner can present a number of challenges, particularly when temperatures get extremely hot. For instance, it may not be possible to power both your A/C and microwave at the same time, even when connected to shore power at the campsite. A 30-amp connection might not even be enough to start up one or more of your A/C units, leaving the interior of your RV uncomfortably warm.
But fear not, as SoftStartRV has developed two unique products to help RVers overcome these obstacles. Those include the company’s original SoftStartRV device—a DIY add-on to your A/C units—and the new SoftStartUp, which plugs into the power pedestal at the campground. The former requires some basic skill with tools, while the latter is a simple plug-and-play solution.

Both options effectively reduce the amount of power needed to start up and run an RV air conditioner and play nicely with other onboard appliances and systems, too. The original SoftStartRV has the benefit of working independently of any advanced power management or load-balancing systems, allowing them to efficiently manage the electrical needs of the entire RV. The device is also 52% smaller than similar models from other manufacturers and is the only 100% waterproof soft start device on the market. Meanwhile, the SoftStartUp device doesn’t require any kind of special installation, while providing similar functionality.
The SoftStartRV comes with a three-year manufacturer warranty and a 90-day love-it-or return-it guarantee. The new SoftStartUp comes with a one-year limited warranty and a 90-day love-it-or return-it guarantee. The devices also have live, US-based English-speaking tech support and free shipping in the US and Canada.

SoftStartRV is quick to point out that its soft-start products aren’t just for use in the summer. These devices also work well with A/C units that double as heat pumps, effectively reducing the required power to get those units going. With year-round camping on the rise, these gadgets will prove invaluable in a variety of temperatures and weather conditions.
RV.com and Wildsam readers get a $70 discount off the price of the original SoftStartRV model and a $600 discount on the new SoftStartUp plug-and-play option. For more information on both of these products, visit the SoftStartRV website.
