RecPro RV A/C
I’m looking at the RecPro 9.5K low profile A/C. I have never heard of them. Does anyone have any experience with them, or heard anything about them? Thank you. https://www.recpro.com/rv-air-cond...

Prior to installing the Micro Air Easy Start, I believe the inrush was in the low 50's. After installing the Micro Air, 15-16a. Very dramatic drop. It's so low that just about any high-frequency 2000 watt inverter could start this a/c compressor.
. . . In an effort to get an idea what the peak inrush current at startup may be, using the Min/Max and fast Peak settings on the Fluke 87iii, I recording the following Max peak readings during six starts: 23.36, 24.76, 30.84, 26.44, 27.40, & 28.28 amps. I realize that this may not be an accurate way to measure peak inrush, but it is best way I had available and may give an idea. I have used several Microair EasyStarts on my RV’s and installed several more for friends. The EasyStarts make a huge difference during compressor start up. . . .
