It is possible electrically to wire a single SoftStartRV into 2 A/C units, but it would compromise the SoftStartRV’s ability to monitor each of the A/C compressors during their run time. It would also probably cost more than just buying a 2nd SoftStartRV due to the need for additional wiring in between both Rooftop A/C […]

I Have Two Roof-Mounted Dometic A/C Units. Do I Need Two SoftStartRV Units? Will the one Honda EU2200iii generator be enough, or will I need to hook up my second one as well? I do have both the EU2200iii and the Companion one, but I was hoping that I could get away with only having

We have some customer feedback from owners with 15k BTU Dometic Rooftop A/C units on several different types of generators.  With SoftStartRV we can start and run our A/C on a Honda EU2200iii on ECO mode smoothly and with no problem. Some other customers have the same success with the Yamaha EF2200iiiSv2, the Westinghouse 2200iiiXLT.   

In order to reduce the size of your generator and still run 2 15kBTU Air conditioners at the same time of one 30 amp hookup, you need to install 2 SoftStartRV units, one on each A/C. Of course, the total wattage required by two 15kBTU systems would not leave much “electrical room” for other appliances

We’ve had some customers install SoftStartRV units into 13.5K or 15K  BTU A/Cs and start and run them on 2,000 Watt generators successfully. Unfortunately, some customers found that not all 2,000 Watt generators are built the same – as is the case with the Yamaha EF2200iiis. We have multiple confirmed cases of our SoftStartRV unit
