Measuring about 3” x 6” x 2”, a SoftStartRV soft starter is the smallest on the market and fits in all RV rooftop AC-Heat Pump units.Benefits include being able to run lights, TV, CPAP, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker or other appliances while the heat pump is also running.
How a Palm-Sized Device Frees Up More Amps to Run Additional RV Appliances
FT. LAUDERDALE, FL – When the hot temperatures of Summer start drifting down like Autumn leaves, RVers know the basic choices they have to keep warm.
The type of RV heat system – furnace, electric heaters or strips, or heat pump – can depend on how cold the RVer’s primary environment is expected to be, and how long the cold temperatures are expected to last. And each choice needs to be weighed by how much energy is available as compared to how much can be used by the chosen form of heating.
When the air is cool but not yet freezing, probably the most efficient choice is to use the heat pump function of an RV air conditioner/heat pump that’s connected to a SoftStartRV™ soft starter.
The Impact of a SoftStartRV™ Soft Starter on a Rooftop AC with Heat Pump
Over the past few years, adding soft starters to RV rooftop air conditioners have become the most popular way to maximize overall AC comfort, performance, and power efficiency.
By reducing the startup power needed by up to 70%, soft starters such as SoftStartRV have resulted in much quieter AC startups (no thumps or shudders), less heat-searing shock to the compressors windings (which can greatly extend compressor life), and more opportunities to keep the AC turned on in low-power situations while keeping other appliances running (such as low-amperage off-grid generator power or household power).
So, it makes sense that when the weather starts to get cold, the SoftStartRV-connected heat pump will provide the same great benefits as when the rooftop AC is running.
Many RV rooftop units with a heat pump function use the same compressor that runs the AC function. In fact, a heat pump is actually an air conditioner running in reverse: instead of drawing heat from the inside air and expelling it outside during AC cooling, the heat pump extracts heat from the OUTSIDE air and moves it INSIDE the RV.
Depending on the specifications of the heat pump, it can comfortably and efficiently take the chill out of an RV when outdoor temperatures reach as low as about 40ºF/4.4ºC.
The Benefits Beyond a Warm RV Interior
More importantly, the very same lifestyle benefits that a SoftStartRV soft starter offers during AC operation can also be realized when using the heat pump of the rooftop unit.
Because of the huge reduction in startup amperage, many other appliances can remain running while the heat pump is being used
By keeping peak demand down, the circuit won’t shut off when the heat pump turns on – especially circuits that may be running on less power than normal.
And since the soft start makes for quiet startups, you may not even know when the heat pump is running (unless you are close to the fan).
Installation was on a Brisk II. Before the install, Honda 2000 had difficulty starting the compressor on eco mode. After installation, the A/C starts and runs with the generator on eco mode. No more stupid thump and trailer shaking when the compressor starts. Installation was super easy, and I have never taken the cover off of my rooftop A/C before.

I have a Dometic Brisk II AC 15K on my RV. I can now run the AC using just a 15-amp 110 household plug outlet or with my Champion 2500 dual fuel generator! Super nice and well worth it!.
-T.Houser
I installed first purchase on a Coleman Mach air conditioner in less than 1 hour. After having both SoftStartRV starters installed and used I am very satisfied. I no longer have that “thud” upon startup that would wake me up during the night.

RV AC units should be built with this, but they are not. Until then, these are a must buy if you are not stationary. Even then, if there is a power outage and you only have a 30 amp generator, you’ll be glad you installed these!
