If your generator or shore power needs a little extra help to start your RV AC unit, this start capacitor will give it the power boost it needs. Relay switch turns the capacitor off once power has been supplied.
Features:
Specs:
If your campsite or generator isn't able to draw the power you need, then you may have difficulty starting your AC unit. The included start capacitor, however, can eliminate this problem. The capacitor stores energy that will later be used to jumpstart the AC. Once the sufficient amount of power has been supplied to the AC, the compressor will start to run, and the internal relay switch will turn the start capacitor off. At the same time, the compressor will send "back voltage" to the relay switch and capacitor in order to energize them for the next startup.
To install, bolt it to the fan motor support with the included hardware and then route the wires to the run capacitor.

If your generator or shore power needs a little extra help to start your RV AC unit, this start capacitor will give it the power boost it needs. Relay switch turns the capacitor off once power has been supplied.my order left etrailer within an hour of being placed. it arrived freight free 3 days later via ups. the ac was packaged very well and arrived without any visible damage. it is compatible with original thermostat and ceiling control box from a 2003 dometic 15000 btu duo therm . had to make a minor adjustment to the partition between the air chambers.the original ceiling plate was reusable as well.
Easy install, Easy instructions!!!
Start Capacitor works as it should.
It only makes sense to install this extra capacitor to your RV air conditioner. This unit arrived with easy to follow printed instructions and the video instructions were a great help. Installation only took a few minutes.
***One tip I would offer when attaching the capacitor to the blower - screw in the attachement screws first without the capacitor. The screws are a tight fit intially and this step will allow them to go in much easier when you are attaching the capacitor body.
As always etrailer has the right products at the right price with excellent customer service.

Still working strong. Helps start AC with our generator.
Very fast delivery time. Excellent packaging to help prevent damage during shipment. Haven't installed parts yet but everything looks good.
Our AC starts good on 20 amp circuit using this start capacitor
Installation went well and the instructions was easy to read and understand.I had the old unit out ,cleansed the roof and installed the new unit by myself in half a day and finished up wiring inside in a short time .Everything worked as explained,Thanks so much for your input and help with picking the right replacement ac unit
Very easy to install. The included instructions were very helpful.
Exactly as advertised, installed myself. If you aren't doing business with etrailer, you get what you deserve.
The item was delivered on time and very very easy to install I had it done and I would say less than 5 minutes between removing the cover routing the wires over to the capacitor and making the connection everything that was needed was included would recommend buying. I'm using a 3500 run time generator at my camper to operate a 15,000 BTU air conditioner and I wanted every Edge to help the compressor start without bogging down the generator I haven't done the actual run yet but I'm sure it will be okay and do as it was meant to do I've noticed Improvement with the startup of the air conditioner even under normal conditions plugged into Shoreline.
This is a must have for using the advent air 15kBTU with a generator. Great product, very easy installation, very easy wiring.
One of those things. You can't really tell if it's working. Was a quick and easy install though. Instructions were quite clear.
Installed this start capacitor on my new Advent RV air conditioner that replaced an old Carrier Air V unit that I had installed a soft start on. This start capacitor was only $19 dollars compared to $300 for the Soft start.
I am writing this due to the all the emails etrailer sends to me to remember to review the item… This review is more for etrailer than the product as I haven’t been able to install the item yet. I ordered this because the website said it would be delivered on July 14th, which would have been perfect timing for our trip. I was planning on installing it that afternoon, so we could take off that evening. However, it didn’t ship until the 14th, so I wasn’t able to install it before we left. The AC compressor struggled to start and even tripped the breaker a few times. Luckily, we were in camp when it happened, and not away so I could reset the breaker.
I know it might not be couth to write a review without actually using the item, but I also paid for a service. A service which etrailer fell short.
Very friendly support. Helped with picking right unit for our needs. Quick delivery and arrived undamaged.
Great unit, no problems since new
Great service
great service.was able to answer all questions and was delivered on time.
I don't notice a difference in the performance at start up. Maybe I didn't need this part afterall. It comes on initially but it wont turn back on after i turn the unit off. It didn't come with the mounting screws so I got some from the hardware store. The videos online are wa
Hy I gave it 4 stars and I trust it will serve me well in the future. Don't know we will see.
Great Shipping and communication
I just now was able to install. Installation was easy and the start capacitor works as it should.
Fast delivery!
