Problem: RVers frustrated over tripping breakers while moochdocking When Matt and Laurie were moochdocking for three months at a family member’s home, they found that when the A/Cs turned on, it shut off their other appliances. Staying in their RV with limited power—only 15 amps available for their 50 amp rig—meant that running high-demand appliances like air conditioning, a coffee maker, and a water distiller often pushed the system over the edge. With tripped breakers shutting off the A/C, the wi-fi, or both, Laurie found working from their RV to be especially challenging. Laurie shared, “I’m working remotely from the RV right now, and when we lose power, that means I lose internet. And when I lose internet, that impacts my production. And the job that I’m doing right now remotely is production based. So it’s very, very important for me to stay connected.”

Solution: The SoftStartUp puts an end to breaker trips The plug-and-play solution allowed Matt and Laurie to significantly reduce the power required to start and run their air conditioning units, which made it possible to operate their AC without tripping the breakers and shutting off other appliances like the wi-fi or TV. They also discovered that this device would be invaluable for future boondocking trips, allowing them to run 2 AC units on smaller generators without hassle.

Result: Laurie stays cool and connected while working in her RV With the SoftStartUp installed, Matt and Laurie enjoy a comfortable RV experience without the constant worry of losing power to their essential devices. Matt and Laurie’s ability to run air conditioning, a water distiller, and coffee maker simultaneously not only enhanced their living situation but also supported the work-from-home needs of Laurie, who could now stay connected without interruption. Laurie now no longer has to sacrifice running her A/C when she needs to use the internet, or any other task she may need to do.
