START-UP problems with your RV A/C
and a portable Generator?

We have a solution!

Easy Start your RV Air Conditioner even
with a smaller size generator!
What happens when my RV Air conditioner starts? 

1.      Standard rooftop air conditioners use about 1500 to 1800 Watts while in a cooling cycle. That is approximately 12 to 15 Amps with a 120 Volt power source. Many portable generators can run this A/C; however, the actual problem is the STARTING CYCLE!
2.      When an air conditioner starts, the compressor and the fan motor come ON together. Both motors draw about 12 to 15 Amps. However, 
The Amp draw for both motors is about 5 to 8 times higher. The power surge lasts just a second or two, still - it's enough to stall the generator and trip the overload!

Instead of reducing the power draw electronically, we invented the Easy RV Starter™

No question, we need to reduce the power surge when the air conditioner starts.
There are some expensive electronic ways to reduce the power surge when the air conditioner starts, but we invented an easy and affordable solution for this problem - the RV-AC-Starter™. 
That smart device delays the start of the fan motor for a few seconds; this way the compressor has time to reach full speed.
A short time later, the fan motor starts up too; but now the power-draw got reduced by some 50%.
As an additional benefit, the evaporator coil has time to get a bit colder before the blower fan starts!

CAUTION - Do Not play with the Thermostat!
Don't short-cycle your A/C, allow two or three minutes between starting of the A/C! The compressor increase the refrigerant pressure up to 350 PSI on the high side!
It takes time to equalize the pressure within the A/C system before the next startup.
Allow at least 2 minutes before starting up your A/C again to prevent damage to the compressor.
RV AC Starter prevents generator overload

Our RV-AC-Starter™ is a simple electric device without any electronics.
It delays the start of the fan after the compressor starts, this reduces the power surge to about 50% at start-up. That is a very affordable solution at less than 100 dollars; it will fit just about all RV rooftop air conditioners regardless of the brand or model.

portable generator for the RV air conditioning

We bought the Yamaha EF2400i because of the low noise level.
Even though the 2400 starting watts, he often struggled and went into overload when we started our RV air conditioner. We've been worry about damaging our new AC or the brand new generator. That was the reason to invent the RV-AC-Starter™.

how to install the RV-AC-Starter in the air conditioner

The installation of the RV-AC-Starter™ is straight forward, no electrician needed.
First , remove the shroud covering the Air conditioner on the roof of your RV. Open the utility box with the capacitors for the compressor and fan motor. Attach two wires to the RV AC Starter. Don't worry - easy to read instructions with pictures are included!

How to keep the power supply ready for the next A/C start:
What else is connected in my RV when I start the generator? …The CONVERTER!
Whether you're on shore power or on a generator - the converter inside your RV uses the 120V supply and converts it to 12V DC. 
This 12V supply is required to charge the batteries and other circuits like water pumps, lights and much more.
You never actually know how many Amps are drawn on the 120V supply. It also depends on the charge of the batteries. The converter may take as many as 3A, respectively about 350 watts (or even much more...). That power is not available when you start the A/C!
How can I increase the available power supply?
Install a solar panel which helps keeping the batteries charged even when you don't use your AC. Even smaller size panels with just 80W or 100W can make a difference!   
In a desperate situation:
1.    Turn off all AC breakers except the central power breaker. That ensures that the battery charger and no other AC accessories are demanding power and reducing available start-up power to the A/C.
