installation of Microair Soft Start on Coleman 15K AC
Has anybody done this? Pictures? Advice? Where did you mount the device, as presumably it will not fit inside the wiring cage.
Forum Discussion
My unit is a Coleman/Airxcel Mach 15. Having read the [expletive deleted] manual, watched the videos, and looked at the picture showing possible mounting locations ... I was hoping that someone would have ACTUALLY installed this thing in a Mach 15. If you truly do have to mount it OUTSIDE the cage:
1. How did you get the wiring to go inside the cage? And if you had to drill a new hole to get the wires in, how did you keep the water out? Did you use a rubber grommet (which I will have to have IN HAND before attempting the installation.
2. If you mounted outside the cage, should the wires coming out of the softstart point up (per information I found that makes no sense) or down (so water would less likely enter the softstart). The area outside of the cage has NO protection from the elements, and can get VERY wet in there during a storm or driving through torrential rain on highway.
If I have to have a whole bunch of installation parts, drill, grommet, glue, beer, etc. etc. to install, I'd much rather know what I need to have, rather than going up and down off the camper, putting the hood on when I go to the hardware store, taking it off when I get back, putting it back on when I realize I don't have what I thought I needed, then falling off the camper roof breaking my arm and have to pay somebody to install for me.
