SoftStartUp Takes the Hassle Out of Starting and Running Your Air Conditioner
We all know that running the air conditioner in our RVs can be frustrating at times. That’s because even highly efficient RV A/C units draw a lot of power during their initial start-up. So much power in fact that it is not uncommon to blow a circuit breaker or not be able to run other appliances while the AC is on.
Fortunately, there is an easy solution to this problem. The SoftStartUp soft stat controller from SoftStartUSA removes all of the difficulty that comes with running your RV’s air conditioner. This plug-and-play device connects directly to a 30-amp or 50-amp power pole at the campground, reducing the startup inrush current by as much as 50%. That means you can not only run two RV A/C units but also multiple other appliances, too.

As if that wasn’t impressive enough, the SoftStartUp device also provides overload protection, extends the life of your A/C’s compressor, and runs off a generator, too. It installs quickly and easily without the need for tools and is portable, allowing you to swap it between different RVs.
If you’re a regular reader of RV.com, you’ve probably seen us extol the virtues of this great product before. But now, you don’t have to just take our word for it. Below are several videos from fellow RVers who have put the device to use in the field. As you’ll see, it continually exceeds their expectations.
First up, we have Shawn and Rhonda Coleman, who own a Grand Design Momentum G-Class fifth-wheel toy hauler. In their video, you’ll see them start up two air conditioners on this 50A trailer, along with several other appliances, while connected to 30A power.
Next we have Larry from Downsizing Makes Cents, who puts the SoftStartUp to a serious test. He plugs the unit into a 2,200W Honda generator using a 50A-to-30A cable plugged into a 30A-to15A adapter. How did it go? You’ll have to watch the video to find out.
Need further evidence of the quality of this product? Check out this clip with Jim From R & J RV Adventures. He has no issues getting his A/C to run using the SoftStartUp device on 30A, but is curious to test it out on his generator, as well. As you’ll see, it works great, allowing his Forest River Wildwood to stay nice and cool, while also running its other appliances.
Thomas Baity of Home on the Hitch is next up, sharing his impressions of the SoftStartUp. He appreciates the plug-and-play nature of the device, which makes it easy to use for any RVers. He also runs both of his air conditioners off the generator with no muss or fuss, but to Tom’s surprise.
These excellent testimonials are further proof of just how efficient and useful the SoftStartUp device is in the field. To learn more about this exciting product—and get a special Wildsam discount—visit SoftStartUp.com.
