Keeping Things Cool During Hurricane Helene

Weathering the Stom with The SoftStartUp

Meet Larry and Alice

Larry and Alice are full-time RVers who know how to handle life on the road—but Hurricane Helene tested even their seasoned skills. As the storm rolled in, they found themselves in need of one crucial comfort: air conditioning. But with only a 2200-watt generator on hand, running their RV’s A/C seemed impossible.

Problem: Staying Cool During a Hurricane with Limited Power

When Hurricane Helene hit, Larry and Alice knew they needed to power their A/C to keep their RV safe and livable. But their 2200-watt generator just couldn’t handle the startup surge of the A/C unit.

Each attempt ended in frustration as the generator stalled under the strain. The high in-rush current from the A/C compressor was too much for the small generator to manage—especially in a high-stakes situation like a hurricane.

Solution: SoftStartUp Makes Cooling Possible

That’s when Larry turned to a limited power solution: the SoftStartUp. Designed to reduce the power surge when an A/C unit kicks on, the SoftStartUp eases the load on your generator and protects your compressor. Larry connected it to his 2200-watt generator, hoping it would bridge the gap between limited power and full comfort.

The result? Instant improvement. The SoftStartUp allowed the A/C to start gradually, eliminating the power spike that had been overwhelming the generator.

No Installation Required!

One of the best parts of Larry’s experience? The SoftStartUp didn’t require any complicated installation. Unlike other solutions that demand opening up your A/C unit or calling a professional, the SoftStartUp is a true plug-and-play device. Larry simply plugged it in between his generator and power cord, and it was ready to go.

For RVers who want instant results without tools or tech headaches, this simplicity is a huge advantage. Whether you’re in a storm or on a sunny boondocking site, getting your A/C up and running should be fast and frustration-free—and with SoftStartUp, it is.

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: Smooth Operation, Even in the Storm

The A/C started up without a hitch—no stalling, no flickering, no overheating. Thanks to the SoftStartUp, Larry and Alice were able to ride out Hurricane Helene in a cool, comfortable RV. “Here’s the trick: how we’re able to use either one of our A/Cs on a 2200-watt generator, and that’s using the SoftStartUp,” Larry shared.

Even in emergency conditions, the SoftStartUp gives them peace of mind and practical comfort. For RVers with limited power sources, especially in unpredictable weather, it’s a must-have.
