I installed a SoftStartRV on my FRONT AC unit. Took way longer than it should have. I had to drill out one screw in the cover. After that it was pretty straight forward.
One correction in the instructions for a Dometic Blizzard NXT. MFG# H541916A721J0
(Note: this is the NON heat pump unit. I don't know if there is a difference with the wiring on the rear heat pump unit).
STEP 5. The blue compressor wire does NOT go to the K2 relay. It goes to the K1 relay.

Maybe to test your softstartrv, move it to the forward AC unit and see how it runs on that one?
