Just did this yesterday to the exact same Furrion unit and your video saved me a lot of time - saved at least one trip up and from the roof to get an ohm meter. The instructions are not very good. The instructions say to route the brown and red Softstart wires to the top of Compressor while the rest go into the Electrical box. I saw that you routed them all into the box - which is the correct thing to do once you get to steps 5 and 6. Also, the instructions repeatedly say to "Follow the wires" - you can't following anything and absolutely need an ohm meter to pick the correct wires. The other thing though is why would you buy from your Amazon link for $285 when Softstart themselves are selling for $279 on their website? I haven't tried this with a generator yet, but know that when the microwave is on and the AC starts up, the 30 amp breaker on the campground post trips, and hope that the Softstart will stop that.

I've been thinking about doing this. I'm hoping it would give me the ability to plug into 110 at the house and still be able to run the AC. Thoughts?

@@tmthompson97 I think it would work, especially if you have a 20A outlet. I'm going to be doing more testing in the weeks ahead with power stations and 15-20A outlets. I figure the running amps are easily under even a 15A outlet, and it's my understanding the in-rush current is so quick that most breakers won't catch it, especially if it's just a little over such as 19.5A in my test. So as long as everything else in RV is off and that particular 15A household outlet has nothing else running on it, likely would work. Great idea/question.
