Food for thought, SPP6 cost me around $22 shipped. SPP6 is what SPPCO recommended for both my old 5er with avcoleman 13,500 and a buddies new trailer with 15,000 btu unit (don't remember the brand), they both worked great! Might want to go with the lower cost option first, just saying.
Good luck!

Appreciate the input, JeepCB.
DeepDiscountsco is selling the Supco SPP6 for $8.99 with free shipping on Amazon. Dyersonline.com is selling the Dometic #33102903.006 hard-start kit for $54.98 plus $8.49 shipping.
My 13,500 BTU a/c draws 12.2 amps (fan on high) with 60 amps of inrush startup current (actual clamp-on meter reading). I'm currently powering my Dometic 13,500 BTU a/c with two EU2000's. It's obvious they're being pushed hard (but, not struggling) everytime that compressor kicks on. My goal is to just reduce that 60 amps of inrush stress on my two EU2000's every time that compressor kicks on--not trying to run my a/c with one EU2000. Even if I could, 12.2 amps is way too close to one EU2000's maximum 13.3 amp current rating for my comfort level.
It sure would be nice to know how much the SPP6 and the Dometic kit each drop the inrush current(or LRA). Judging from Chris Bryant's post, I would assume the Dometic (#33102902.006) would drop more.
We'll see . . .
