Key features
- Unlock More From 30 Amp Service – Allows two A/Cs on a single 30A service when no other appliances are running; supports other appliances while one A/C runs.
- Boondocking A/C Made Easier – Reduces A/C startup power demand by up to 75% so Penguin II starts with less power.
- Designed for Small Power Systems – No need to upgrade to an expensive generator. Enables A/C operation on generators/inverters as small as 2,000W and supports inverter/solar use without faulting..
- Sleep-Friendly Startup – Less compressor power draw can mean less noise during air conditioning startup.
- Pre Wired Installation– Pre wired for easy connecting. Helps reduce power related annoyances tied to compressor startup. Professional installation recommended.
- Built for the road: Weatherproof case and connectors and vibration tested to handle severe road conditions.
Product details
Starting an RV air conditioner can create a major power spike when the compressor kicks on—leading to breaker trips, power “brown outs,” flickering lights, and loud, disruptive start cycles. Dometic SmartStart is a model specific soft start accessory that reduces A/C start up power demand by up to 75%, helping your rooftop A/C start on generators/inverters as small as ~2,000W and work better in solar/inverter setups. On 30 amp service, SmartStart supports better power management: it can enable two A/Cs on one 30A service when other major loads are not running, and it allows you to run other appliances while one A/C is operating—reducing the constant “turn one thing off to use another” frustration. SmartStart also reduces start up noise (less compressor power draw at start) and is frequently positioned as reducing the stress of hard starts on A/C components—helping protect the equipment you already own.
Before you order
- Check the amperage and the pulley / mounting style against your old unit; a core may be on the old part.
- Check your engine size and transmission type in the fitment — cooling parts often differ between them.
