RE: Soft Start Install Issues
Did you get your ac to operate properly on shore power? From your other post, you were having problems with the generator tripping. Might want to get your ac operating properly before installing your soft start.
That would include re installing your 12 volt battery to your rv. The ac will not work properly unless both shore power AND the 12 volt battery are connected. Can't imagine the the soft start will work any better until the ac unit is working properly

RE: AC tripping generator
Shouldn't need a soft start with a 4500w generator. My best guess is the water heater is on electric and the battery is low so the charger is putting out max charge...that may be enough to push it over the edge.
The 12v battery is disconnected. I have it charging for when we go on our vacation in 2 weeks.
The hot water heater is off. I don't think mine has an electric option but I have no load amps of a few miliamps even if it did. I've always operated my hot water from a button on my control panel and it runs propane to heat it up but that switch is off
You need to reconnect your 12 volt. You need both to properly operate the ac unit. Power to the ac unit is provided by generator or shore power. 12 volt power is needed to tel the ac unit what to do. Might be part of the problem .

Puerto Penasco/The Reef
Is anyone at the Reef rv park right now? I just left in March. They were aligning the parking when I left. Any current news?
