SoftStartRV Installation Simple and Straightforward for your RV AC Air Conditioner

Рет қаралды 76,697

Күн бұрын

Install your SoftStartRV device into your AC Air conditioning unit on your RV, this is a Soft Start allowing your RV AC to run on low power sources like 30 amp, 20 amp, 15 amp, or a generator because it won't have a power surge on the AC when turning it on after the @SoftStartUSA is installed.

When I do the upgrade, I'll be installing a SoftStartRV device with them. #softstartrv Paul is definitely someone who could create a following via the clear and accurate style with which he did this installation.

Great video! On the mounting of the unit, one suggestion would have been to simply move it over toward the edge a bit so at least the two screws on the left side (top and bottom) would simply go through into the capacitor compartment which you already had open and can see where it is clear. Two screws plus the tape would be sufficient I would think?

I just finished installing my SoftStartRV in my new AC unit! I installed the SSRV before the AC unit was installed and I'm sure glad because the unit had no room, no give, no extra wiring, and everything was tied down way too well (which normally is a very good thing). It took me hours just to disassemble everything so I could get to the wiring. Crazy. But it was a successful effort in the end! Now I just hope it all works when I get the unit officially installed. 🤞🤞

@WhatsMyGear Жыл бұрын

First time I've heard someone putting it in before the AC was installed. Are you replacing the AC, or did the RV never have one in the first place.

@furiousfucshiagoddess7616 Жыл бұрын

@@WhatsMyGear Replacing. There was a 13.5 BTU AC in the trailer when we purchased it (2 units actually), but we are living in the trailer off grid and using just one of them was too high of an energy draw to use even for a short time. Our inverter was not large enough for the power draw. We ended up removing one of the units and installed a 12v swamp cooler unit (turbokool), which was a disaster and didn't work at all, so now we are going back to the regular RV AC unit. The AC we just purchased however is a 9.5K BTU AC and we purchased the softstartRV hoping it will help even more, which I really think it will. Finger's cross again. Kind of TMI, sorry. It's been quite a journey. :)

@furiousfucshiagoddess7616 Жыл бұрын

@@WhatsMyGear I'm the same way. I love to hear what folks are doing with their trailers, how they are improving them, and how they are managing, especially if they live in them off grid! 🙂 As for the IG (inverter generator?), no, mainly because our current solar set up is very much like the home solar set ups except that we don't have a true standby generator; only a large portable generator that we can plug into if we draw down our batteries too much. We have 22 solar panels, 12 FLA deep cycles batteries, 2 charge controllers, and a 4000 watt inverter. The 4k seems like a lot, but when you consider we have a 220v water pressure tank connected, a couple of computers going daily, a couple of refrigerators, washer/dryer, and plenty of other 120v draws, the turning on of a 13.5k BTU AC unit is upwards of 3.5k+ watts, it passes the 4k mark in a snap. So it's the inverter limitation that is causing us grief with respect to the AC usage so we are just trying to manage within that constraint. And we are managing, but at the expense of the air conditioner!! We suffered a lot last summer, I have to say. On one of the hottest days, it was 98 degrees (F) in our trailer!!! It was torture. I suppose with all of the cooling units we have purchased we probably could have purchased at least a big part of a higher capacity inverter!! What to do. 🤷‍♀ We technically could link up two of our big generators during the summer months and run that AC, but then we add the cost of fuel to run them every day, which would add up very very quickly ($$$$$). Comfort is too costly. 🤣

@WhatsMyGear Жыл бұрын

That's awesome! I love taking about off grid power. By IG, I meant Instagram. Here is my Instagram page where i post pics of our travels instagram.com/whatsmygear feel free to send me your Instagram page if you have one. Switching topics to off grid power... I was thinking of making a video on my boondocking setup. It's not nearly as capable as you off grid power setup, but it gets us through the night, and it recharges through the truck's engine while driving the next day. We target 3 to 4 week trips in our RV, and live at our home base between trips. So we do alot of 1 night boondocks in order to travel to our destination. Then we hook up to city power at our destination. For example, I live in Ohio, but when we stayed in South Dakota for 3 weeks, we boondocked 2 nights on the way to get there.

It was a really helpful video. I would say it would have been a little bit better if you had gone a little slower with what wire attaches to where or just repeating it once that step is complete. All the talking in between the steps about how to connect what to were with what connectors confuses the steps somewhat so reiterating what you got connected to where before you move on would have been a little bit more helpful. Having the schematic of course was absolutely the best advice to double check. So does this work with the solar or only with the 15 amp hookup?

@WhatsMyGear 2 ай бұрын

The soft start operates on any power source to my knowledge. We didn't want to be too prescriptive on the hookups because you need to follow the exact steps for your unit. We don't want people following our wiring if their unit requires different wiring. So take the wiring section of the video as conceptual and follow your diagram instead of us.

Why not mount the soft start in the compartment with the capacitors?

@WhatsMyGear Жыл бұрын

For me, it felt very congested in there already, I'm not sure that it would fit. That might be different for other AC units. But also, I am concerned with having my hand in there with those capacitors because they could shock you, so I like the idea of minimizing the number of times my hand has to go in there. Lastly, It seems like jostling a box in there would not be a comfortable procedure as compared to mounting in the open accessible space outside that compartment. So, for those reasons, I personally wouldn't put it in the capacitor compartment. But note, I'm not an expert, just another RV owner trying to share experiences.

@Larryr the reason I don't remember the guage of wire is that I just size it on the fly to one of the holes in the wire stripper tool and then strip the wire. In other words there was no reason for me to take note of the size, I just find the size on real time, strip the wire, and move forward with the rest of the job. Here are some wire strippers that will accommodate multiple wire sizes from 10 AWG to 20 AWG like the one I used. amzn.to/3MgA2qg
