Beat the Heat with the SoftStartUp

How SoftStartUp Helped This RV Couple Run Two A/Cs on a Small Generator

Meet Thomas & Melissa: RV Enthusiasts Seeking Comfort

Thomas and Melissa Baity are passionate RV travelers who love the freedom of the open road. However, they encountered a frustrating challenge—keeping their RV cool during hot summer months. Their generator setup struggled to start both of their air conditioners due to the high surge of power required during startup. This put excessive stress on their compressor, leaving them in discomfort when they needed cooling the most.

Determined to find a solution, they searched for a way to efficiently manage power and keep their RV comfortable without upgrading to a larger generator.

The Problem: RV Owners Can't Start Two A/Cs on a Small Generator

Like many RVers, Thomas and Melissa relied on a generator to power their essentials. However, the surge in power required to start both A/C units was too high, preventing them from effectively cooling their space. Without a way to reduce the startup power surge, their generator simply couldn’t handle the load.

This limitation made summer trips challenging, forcing them to restrict their A/C usage or find alternative ways to stay cool—neither of which were ideal for an enjoyable RV experience.

The Installation Process: Tips and Tricks

With the setup complete, the installation was a breeze and it didn't take long for the A/C to start running:
Start the Honda generator.
Plug the SoftStartUp unit into the generator.
Power up the RV’s air conditioner.
This process required no tools, no roof access, and no direct wiring—just a straightforward plug-in solution that was beginner-friendly and efficient.

The Solution: SoftStartUp Allows Two A/Cs to Run on a 3000-Watt Generator

Determined to find a hassle-free fix, Thomas turned to the SoftStartUp. This plug-and-play device significantly reduces the initial power surge when air conditioners start up, allowing for more efficient energy management. Unlike traditional soft starts that require installation inside the A/C unit, the SoftStartUp is external, making it easy to use.

For their test, they connected their RV to a 3000-watt Champion generator. To their amazement, they were able to start and run both air conditioners seamlessly.

With excitement, Thomas shared, “We were able to start both of our air conditioners—our living room, which is 15,000 BTU, and our bedroom, which is 13,500 BTU—on our Champion 3000 Watt generator.”

How The SoftStartup Works

The SoftStartUp resembles a large 50 amp dog bone or surge protector, but focuses solely on managing start-up 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 AC 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.

The Result: Success! A Cool and Comfortable RV

The SoftStartUp technology proved to be a game-changer for Thomas and Melissa. It allowed them to start and run both air conditioners without overloading their generator or tripping any breakers. Given that their generator had seen extensive use, this was a significant achievement.

“That’s what I would call a successful test!”, Thomas said with satisfaction.

Beyond the immediate benefits of staying cool, Thomas also appreciated the portability and flexibility of the SoftStartUp. “It’s portable. You can take it with you if you move to a different RV,” he noted, making it a smart, long-term investment for any RV owner looking to optimize power usage.
