Full-Time RVers Seeking Power Solutions

The First Ever Plug ‘N’ Play Soft Start Solution

Meet Kara and Ryan

Kara and Ryan are full-time RVers who love the freedom of life on the road. The run an RV influencer YouTube page known as Wandering RV Babe. Managing power usage in their RV has always been a challenge—especially when they find themselves with only a 20-amp connection. They often camp in places where full 50-amp hookups aren’t available or find themselves moochdocking, which limits their ability to run multiple devices simultaneously. Determined to find a solution, they decided to put SoftStartUp to the test and see how well it could handle their energy needs.

Problem: Tripping Breakers While Moochdocking

For many RV owners, moochdocking (using a standard 20-amp household outlet for power) is an appealing option, but concerns over power limitations often arise.

Running multiple appliances—including air conditioners—on such a limited power source is typically unrealistic due to high startup surges that can trip breakers. Kara and Ryan wanted to see if SoftStartUp could provide a practical solution, allowing them to use their RV comfortably even on a 20-amp circuit.

Solution: The SoftStartUp Maximizes Power Efficiency

Kara and Ryan conducted a series of real-world tests to evaluate SoftStartUp’s effectiveness. Their step-by-step process included:

Turning off the power to ensure safety before plugging in.
Connecting the SoftStartUp device to the 20-amp power source using a dog bone adapter.
Running diagnostics before testing various appliances.

Their goal was to determine which combinations of appliances and AC units could run successfully on a 20-amp connection without tripping the breaker.

Test Results:

One AC unit: Worked flawlessly in all modes.
Two AC units: Initially ran but tripped the breaker after a few minutes.
One AC unit + Microwave: Struggled but ran briefly before shutting down.
One AC unit + Air Fryer: Shut off during preheat mode due to high power demand.
Microwave alone: Worked with minor fluctuations.
Air Fryer alone: Operated successfully through the entire preheat and cooking cycle.
One AC unit + Washer/Dryer: Worked without any noticeable power fluctuations.

How The SoftStartup Works

The SoftStartUp resembles a large 50 amp dog bone or surge protector, but focuses solely on managing startup amperage for RV appliances. It connects between your RV and the power source, providing soft start capabilities for up to two air conditioners on a 30 amp circuit. This means you can potentially start both your A/C units on a 3000 watt generator, a significant upgrade in versatility and convenience.

Once installed, the soft start system operates in stages to ensure a smooth power-up process:

Initial Monitoring Phase:
The system detects when the air conditioner is about to start and prepares to moderate the power surge.
Gradual Power Ramp-Up:
Instead of an immediate surge, the SoftStartUp gradually increases the power supply, reducing the strain on the electrical system.
Full Operation with Stable Power Draw: After the compressor is fully engaged, the system stabilizes, allowing multiple appliances to run without issue.

Result: A Smoother Moochdocking Experience

SoftStartUp allowed Kara and Ryan to maximize their limited power source, making it possible to run select appliances on a 20-amp hookup.

While running two AC units was not feasible, they confirmed that they could still operate essential appliances, including their washer and dryer, while maintaining a comfortable environment.

Their testing revealed that power availability can vary depending on the circuit’s actual output, but SoftStartUp significantly improved their flexibility and ability to camp in more locations without a generator or solar power.

Final Thoughts: Why This is a Moochdocking Must-Have

Kara and Ryan’s experiment highlights the importance of understanding power limitations and optimizing energy use when RVing. While SoftStartUp doesn’t defy the laws of physics, it does provide a significant advantage by reducing power surges and allowing RVers to get the most out of limited electrical connections. Their experience proves that even with a basic 20-amp hookup, it’s possible to maintain a functional and comfortable setup by prioritizing power usage and knowing which appliances can run together.

For RVers looking to enhance their power efficiency, SoftStartUp is a game-changer, enabling them to make the most of even limited hookups.
