micro-air easy start

all i can say is wow! best money ever spent on this total piece of **** 2007 fsakg33 Attitude toyhauler trailer. almost insulting to the micro-airs to be on the trailer. i had looked at micro-airs a couple years ago and for some reason didn't get them, probably price. i bought a supco for my front 13,500 ac. that thing is useless. so i bought 2 honda eu2000i's, one a companion and my plan was to run them together to start and run my 13,500 unit only cuase i don't think it would start my 15,000 unit. anyway, recently had the start capacitor go out on my big unit and was messing around on the forums and found the micro-air mentioned again. i was highly skeptical. but i called their tech line, talked to some guy who sounded pretty smart. then i emailed the sales dept and bought 2 of them. put them in both my units. simply unbelievable, i can use only a single honda to start either one of them and run them,,,,probablky won't do both though, i didn't even try. i didn't use eco mode though, but i suspect it will work.

when i get to finally upgrade to a real trailer that wasn't built by mentally handicapped people (or simply built by idiots who don't care about quality), i will remove them and put them on the new one.

if you are on the fence, they get my seal of total approval, i mounted mine from underneath, just inside the grill of the cold air side of the big unit, and just inside the grill of the return air on the dometic 13,500. had to route the wires differently but it worked out slick and i think they will stay a lot cooler there since i live in las vegas

    you may think that the post insulting the mentally impaired is useful information, I do not. :s
    extremely insulting.

  • i also installed that 45 year old turbo charger on my air conditioner and it worked great! it's got a cool throaty rumble now.

    not sure exactly what this micro air is? sounds to me like that turbo charger sold 45 years ago that went between carburetor and engine?

    terribly sorry I missed out on prior discussions. I guess it took fanatical ranting and raving in a post to interest me.

  • all i can say is i watched it easily start my 15k unit.

    all i know is i am leaving my second honda at home now, unless i want to run both units, which i have never found necessary.

    hey, i was a bit skeptical as well, I'm just a retired fire captain guy with a POS trailer from Attitude

    micro air is one of the few companies that exceed the hype.

    apologies to any and all mentally ill folks. i shouldn't have compared you to the workers at Attitude.

    How could you possibly miss discussion about the Micro-Air Easy Start Soft Starter Kit ... we've discussed it time and again here on rv.net and Micro-Air even chimed in recently in one of these discussions. And putting a label on it when you don't even know what it does or how it does it is ridiculous. :R I wouldn't necessarily expect it to repeatedly start a larger 15,000 BTU A/C but any reports I've read from those who've tried one claim it does easily allow starting a 13,500 BTU A/C with a single 2,000 watt genset such as the Honda EU2000i. It would seem the OP is yet another happy customer. :B

    Actually mentally handicapped persons can make excellent workers. Your statement is offensive.
