Yea, I meant to say EasyStart not soft start. I have watched a lot of videos on the EasyStart and it looks pretty straight forward install.
I suspect you and ktmrfs are confusing the terms "soft start", "soft starter", and "hard start". The Micro-Air Easy Start is a soft starter but unfortunately hard start devices such as the popular Supco SPP6 are often interchangeably referred to by some as "hard" start or "soft" start. If what you're saying is the Easy Start is not at all like an SPP6 then you're absolutely correct, otherwise I have no idea what is meant when you and ktmrfs say the Easy Start is not a "soft start". :h
FWIW, I've been using an SPP6 for years on a variety of A/C units to ease start up but a hard start like this certainly doesn't solve the problem of starting a 13,500 BTU A/C with a 2K genset like the EU2000i when elevation is anything above sea level and ambient temps are anywhere above the mid 80s F. We don't often use A/C when camping even though we most often have shore power available, otherwise if we did and knowing what I know now I'd be investing in a Micro-Air Easy Start Soft Starter Kit, whether I ever intended to power it with a genset or not. ;)
