Mr. RV Electricity, Mike Sokol, introduces the SoftStartUp soft start controller as being truly revolutionary. "Not only does it start and run multiple RV A/Cs on limited power, but it does with just one plug ‘n play device that you don’t have to climb on the RV roof to install on all your units! See the results for yourself!"

Mike was great!
Read More
"Mike was great! He even sent us photos of him getting selfies with Llamas and he and Trevor had a great talk about music. We love when we can connect with the brands we are working with and the people behind the emails and phone calls. I just wanted to share how fantastic that feels." - Lia Eyre, Llama Llama Adventures.

Thumbs up
Read More
"We kicked on both acs, we ran everything that he wanted to run in the rig minus the third air conditioner of course, and everything ran fine. So it's a thumbs up for this review and hopefully that answers a lot of questions that people had." - Shawn

No climbing on the roof

"No climbing on the roof, no messing with wires, none of that. Just use this, plug it in, and you’ll have AC." - Adrian

Learning a new Trick
Read More
“Here’s the trick, how we’re able to use either one of our ACS on a 2200 watt generator, and that’s using the soft start up right there.” – Larry Grimm
David Tigner
Definitely a win-win
Read More
“So that is definitely a win-win. So it’s nice to be able to have something like this available to us as RVers. And so I really applaud this company. Doug was saying they’re continually working to make it better and come up with better ideas on this and everything. So I think that’s got to be something said for the company.” – David Tigner
Rhonda and Jim Hill, R&J RV Adventures
It definitely does the job
Read More
"Now with the softstartup, we had that plugged in on eco mode and all the systems worked fine, the air conditioner didn't have the surge of electricity that knocked out our wifi or TV, So that tells me it definietly does the job" Jim
Matt and Laurie, Why Not Wander
Designed and assembled in the United States
Read More
"They are such wonderful, kind and thoughtful people, and the SoftStartUp is designed and assembled in the United States and they talked about how much they value that and place priority on that, and that is a company we want to get behind. Anything assembled, made, designed in the United States, very, very important for our country." - Laurie
Suzannah Hinton, Hinton The Trail
This is an even more superior product.
Read More
We were already impressed with the original soft start [SoftStartRV], because we have it on both of our air conditioners and it really makes a difference with the noise and how it starts up…Normally when the bedroom air conditioning comes on, it’s really loud. [With the SoftStartUp] I didn’t even hear it. This is an even more superior product.
Wes Koshoffer, Full Time RVer
Loved it
Read More
One of the other things that I really found great about this [SoftStartUp] unit was the ease of use, and when the air conditioners were kicking on and off as the compressors cycled, it was noticeably quieter and you could tell that the power draw was just an awful lot less, which is better in general for the electrical circuitry and for the rig.
Chris Hinton, Hinton The Trail
They have given us the ability to RV in ways that we could not before
Read More
We have used the SoftStartRV for a year and a half. And now the SoftStartUp for the last four plus months. And they just work. They have given us the ability to RV in ways that we could not before, whether that's in low power conditions or just getting to use it with a generator….These are all things that we couldn't even think of when we first started RVing and SoftStartRV, and now the SoftStartUp, have changed all of that for us.

Power Everything

“This is good news because we’ve restarted this thing about five or six times since we’ve been camping out here and we’ve been able to power everything we needed without overloading the generator,” said Thomas.

Home Run

“This product is a home run.” - Adrian
Larry and Alice
Glad it Worked
Read More
“Crank [the A/C] down… It came on! I’m glad it worked.” - Larry and Alice
David TIgner
Whole new idea
Read More
"It's a whole new idea and I think just simplifying it down where it just plugs in and unplugs and you just take it with you the whole time. No extra work involved makes it a simple thing. So anyway, that's pretty cool. I really like the product and it's pretty cool and it's a good company to work with." David TIgner
Thomas and Melissa Baity, Home on Hitch
Flawless
Read More
"We were able to start our two air conditioners off of our 3000 Watt champion inverter generator and it worked flawless. So it's a good option if you're looking into soft starts, you want to put 'em on your rv, but you don't want to have to climb up there and do the install or pay somebody to do it for you, then this is a great option." -Thomas Baity
Greg Finch, Finches in Flight
I'm impressed

"I'm excited to try it out, I think it's a good idea and I'm impressed with their stuff so far" -Greg Finch.
Matt and Laurie, Why Not Wander
This makes things so much easier!
Read More
We started using the SoftStartUp, which we love because it's plug and play. We don't have to, or I didn't have to, get up on the roof and install soft starts on the A/C units. You literally just plug this in and it's allowed us to run our A/C, and the water distiller, our coffee pot, and we're not constantly tripping the breaker... I was totally willing to get on the roof and install on the acs, but now that we have this and this product is out there, this makes things so much easier. - Matt
Chris Hinton, Hinton The Trail
It ran Perfectly!
Read More
We set up the SoftStartUp on the generator and we started on the first air conditioner, it worked. Added the second [air conditioner]. And then we went to the refrigerator. And then the water heater. And we were still able to run it. And then we switched over to propane…It still ran perfectly.
Wes Koshoffer, Full Time RVer
I couldn't be more pleased
Read More
I couldn't be more pleased with the idea that I can run dual air conditioning units and miscellaneous loads on 30 amp service in this RV.

Going to Help Us
Read More
“I really feel like this thing's going to help us with our off-grid camping experiences,” said Thomas 
Shawn
it’s pretty stout
Read More
“We’re running a lot of stuff off this already. We’ve got two acs running, we’ve got a residential fridge running a dehumidifier, three fans, and we actually ran the microwave for a little bit and we haven’t had a hiccup yet. So first impressions are, it’s pretty stout.” - Shawn
Adrian
I am most excited about
Read More
"What I'm excited about and I think most people will be able to use the most is running one AC on a 20-amp house circuit." - Adrian
David Tigner
Never Tripped Once!
Read More
"Both air AC units running using the soft start never tripped the breaker once" - David Tigner
Mike, Living Free
It's going to change things
Read More
"Since using this, I haven't had one single breaker pop at all, not even close... Your AC unit...compressor's going to last a lot longer using the SoftStartUp." - Mike
Matt and Laurie, Why Not Wander
Working remotely from an RV with SoftStartUp
Read More
"One way the SoftStartUp has reduced stress for me personally is 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 ...When I had the video call... I was sitting there drenched in sweat because I was too afraid to turn our AC on and risk losing our internet connection. So the [SoftStartUp] was going to save me from the situation I was in." - Laurie
Christ Hinton, Hinton The Trail
And we really believe that they can change it for you as well.

We actually went RVing for three plus straight months and with one hundred degree temps. We also Boondocked for four straight weeks in Key West and 80 degree temps running our air conditioner with our generator. We've mooched docked at friends' houses using the 15-amp power plug and have been able to run our air conditioners. These are all things that we couldn't even think of when we first started RVing and SoftStartRV, and now the SoftStartUp, have changed all of that for us. And we really believe that they can change it for you as well.
