I’m targeting a certain kind of RV owner with this post. If you searched, “Can I run two air conditioners with Soft Starts?” then I’m betting you own a 50-amp RV with two or three air conditioners. You’re wondering how you can manage to run two air conditioners off a 30-amp connection, and you’re hoping the Soft Start will do the trick. 

Well … it just might! But you’ll need a Soft Start for each air conditioner. 

What Is An RV Soft Start Work?

“Soft Start” is like the term “Bandaid” or “Kleenex.” It’s an eponym for several similar products, like the Network RV SoftStartRV, the Micro-Air Easy Start, the Spartan Power SpartanStart, and several other products.

• Install a Soft Start device on each air conditioner.
• Don’t mix and match brands.
• Don’t turn on both air conditioners simultaneously. 
• Consider running each A/C on Low or Medium cooling mode to reduce the power draw.
• Keep your A/C coils clean for maximum efficiency!
• Be kind to your air conditioner by reducing heat gain!
