The more I think about it, the more the simple answer seems to be use a bigger generator.

I looked at that soft start kit, and it looks promising, but probably wouldn't work with my Champion generator.

Hello Searching_Ut. My name is Matteo and I work for Micro-Air, the manufacturer of the EasyStart soft starter that was mentioned by jharrell in this thread. We've been watching this thread quietly since the links originally posted by jharrell produced several visits to our website that led me back to this forum. I decided to register in order to subscribe to it. We most certainly want to stay within the rules of the forum, and I wasn't going to participate unless I saw anything being discussed where I could chime in and perhaps help clarify something.

In your particular case, you should not need a bigger generator since the EasyStart should work fine with your 2000W inverter-type Champion generator. In fact, as you mentioned in your very first post that started this thread, if you install EasyStart into your 15k A/C unit, you will only need one of your generators operating to start and run it, not two in parallel.

I am presently contributing to multiple RV forums where there is literally a mountain of information and countless success stories of people like you who have successfully installed EasyStart into their RV rooftops and successfully operated them off a single 2000W generator or inverter. Both Dometic and Coleman types of A/Cs.

I cannot possibly convey what has gone on in these other forums because it is far too extensive and I also don't want to dishonor this forum in any way. Other rv.net members here may have seen some of it in their blogging travels, so they may be able to vouch for what I am claiming.

To specifically help you out, let me know what the manufacturer and the model is for your 15k A/C system. I likely already have a wiring diagram in the library I have been building, and I can also share what the expected startup current surge you should expect with EasyStart. I will also be happy to answer any other questions that you may have.

So before you invest in a larger generator, please allow me to help you understand and consider the benefits of EasyStart. In the end, the decision is solely and absolutely yours on what you choose to do. I only want to help by providing you and anyone else interested with the hard facts and benefits about EasyStart that many other DIY RV customers are now already enjoying.

Thank you again for your consideration.
