$600, it's twice as expensive as a
Micro-Air EasyStart 364.
If I sell my trailer, I'm either taking the EasyStart with me, or rolling it into the trailer's selling price - Buyer's choice.
The fact that the Softstartup subjects every 120 volt device inside your RV to a waveform which has been modified to reduce the startup surge of the air conditioner is a deal-breaker for me.
There are sound technical reasons why the Micro-Air connects at specific points inside the A/C unit itself, rather than simply at its AC power wires.
The way Micro-Air does it makes the installation process a little more involved - but is probably worth it, IMO.

In theory, a easy start could be wired as a dog bone between the post an the RV power cord.
No, it connects to several specific points inside the A/C, including the compressor run capacitor.
