Meet Thomas and Victoria

Thomas and Victoria are passionate RVers who love the freedom and adventure of boondocking. Exploring remote destinations and camping off-grid allows them to fully immerse themselves in nature, but it also presents unique challenges—especially when it comes to managing power. With no hookups and limited energy from their generator, they found it difficult to keep their RV cool without overloading their system.

Boondocking offers incredible opportunities to explore secluded areas, but it can also mean dealing with frustrating power limitations. Thomas and Victoria experienced frequent issues with their generator struggling to handle the power demands of their RV’s air conditioning unit.

Every time they tried to run their A/C while using other appliances like their microwave or coffee maker, they risked tripping the breaker, cutting power to their entire setup. This made for some uncomfortable days in the heat, limiting their ability to fully enjoy their time off-grid.

Solution: The SoftStartUp Maximizes Power Efficiency

To address this issue, Thomas and Victoria discovered the SoftStartUp, a game-changing device designed to reduce the power surge that appliances generate when starting up. High-energy devices like air conditioners and microwaves typically require a large amount of power at startup, which can overload generators and trip breakers. The SoftStartUp smooths out this energy surge, allowing appliances to start more gradually and consume less power overall.

One of the biggest benefits of the SoftStartUp is its plug-and-play design. Unlike traditional soft start devices that require complex wiring and professional installation, the SoftStartUp simply plugs into the RV’s power pedestal or generator. With no tools or electrical expertise required, Thomas and Victoria were able to set it up in seconds and immediately reap the benefits.

The freed-up power allowed them to run multiple appliances, including their microwave, blender, small heaters, and even portable A/C units, without worrying about overloading their generator.

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:

  1. Start the generator.
  2. Plug the SoftStartUp unit into the generator.
  3. 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.

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:

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

Result: A Cool and Comfortable Boondocking Experience

After setting up the SoftStartUp, Thomas and Victoria fired up their generator and plugged in their RV. The air conditioning unit started effortlessly—without any of the usual strain on their power system. Even when they simultaneously ran their microwave and coffee maker, their generator held strong, keeping all their appliances powered without tripping breakers.

Over the next few days at Pothole State Park, they continued putting the SoftStartUp to the test, restarting their A/C multiple times without any issues. It proved invaluable in helping them maintain a comfortable environment while camping off-grid.

“I really feel like this thing’s going to help us with our off-grid camping experiences,” said Thomas, thrilled with the results.

For RVers who enjoy boondocking but struggle with power limitations, the SoftStartUp is a must-have accessory. It allows you to run essential appliances more efficiently, prevents frustrating power interruptions, and makes off-grid camping far more comfortable. With an easy setup and immediate benefits, Thomas and Victoria now consider the SoftStartUp an essential part of their boondocking gear.
