Anyone? Bueller?

How can I tell if my Trailer's A/C units came with soft start?

More than likely, unless you have Super Solar, you do not have soft start. You could also go on the roof and pull the AC cover. Do you have Dometic or Coleman AC units? If you have Coleman, you may have it. You can also call your dealer or Keystone with your VIN and they can look it up.

I would guess take the cover off and look for a SoftStartRV unit.
I installed one on my bedroom unit. Very easy install. I tested running it on my 2000w inverter from my batteries.

My 2022 solar flex 400 came with soft start. One way to check is to plug into 30 amp and start them both. If they both run then they have soft start. Don't run both for too long as you risk overloading the circuit and popping the breaker. Each AC will draw 11 to 16 amps, throw in a converter and fridge ect. and you're over 30 amps.

Here's a great deal on this unit on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/SoftStartRV-N...8e6d374b3&th=1
$553 for a two pack. Went ahead and pulled the trigger on this deal...with tax, works out to $296 apiece!
