New Coleman Soft Start Option vs Microair

Yes, your Microair is a better option. BUT, a Hard start kit costs(RVP brand) $35. The Microair costs $300. So, if utilizing just 1 AC unit, I would rather spend $35. Now, If I was utilizing 2 AC units on 30 amp shore Power, I would use the Microair, but it requires 2 at $300 each. Doug

1. Usually OEM only has the soft start included. The OEM requests this model because they usually are a 30 amp RV or a smaller than 4.0 k genset
2. The standard 95% offered models without the soft start. The problem you run into, especially with supplies limited by Covid, you have to order the soft start as almost all Retailers just stock the standard without the soft start option. To determine if a RVP model has a hard start kit. Doug

IF 5 O6 THEN NO HARD START KIT

IF 7 -8- OR 9 HAS HARD START KIT

Am I to assume as I am already that an aftermarket Micro-Air is better than the Coleman "soft start"?
