Micro air easy start in new roof air.
I read here and there on the net that some of the AC manufacturers are installing Micro Air Easy Starts in their new roof airs, but can find no conformation of this. Anyone know if there is any tru...

I have a Hyper Engineering Sure Start and will report this...
I helped my neighbor convert a V nose 12x8 cargo trailer into a RV with a air conditioner, and he used a 2500w LF Pure Sine, pass-thru inverter/charger... We both have the exact same model Coleman air conditioner with the sole exception that his is new and mine has the Hyper Engineering Sure Start...Both campers are wired alike to allow the air conditioners to run (for short periods only...) off the inverters (i.e. via batteries)...
He wanted to run a ‘brutal’ inverter test. So while on shore power, and running his air conditioner (compressor ON) we pulled the S/P cord just to see if the transition over to the inverter (via ATS) would be seamless, and his inverter then alarmed and stumbled under this sudden, highly inductive compressor load, and his air conditioner momentarily shut down (for about 8-10 sec) before a full recovery - obviously not seamless, nor should this be considered a real-world test...This same test using other appliances produced results where the transition was actually quite seamless...However, not so much with the air conditioner...
Then, we plugged into his inverter a 100’ 12 AWG extension cord ran over to my driveway and ran the very same extreme S/P ‘cord pull’ test (same exact A/C unit, but mine fitted with the Sure Start), and the result was quite surprising to me to say the least - after several same test trials (compressor running) the air conditioner never once skipped a beat (compressor unaffected!), and his inverter never alarmed, not even once...
I report this because in my mind this is apples-to-apples near proof positive that the Sure Start actually works (or does something for the better)...I can only assume that the Easy Start (equivalent) would produce this similar result, though I don’t recommend needlessly trying this...
FWIW, Both Air Conditioners were a Coleman Mach 1 P.S. (power saver) 11k btu, and fans were set to Low speed...Both compressors were running at all times...
