Helpful Expert Reply:

Right, the SoftStartRV Soft Start # SSR54FR is a standalone unit you install inline with the AC unit while the SoftStartUp installs inline for the entire RV. The specs are not the same for both, here are the specs SoftStartUp have with their comparison:

SoftStartRV # SSR54FR
Installs on rooftop
One unit for each AC unit
No surge protection

SoftStartUp
Installs into power pedestal
Starts up 2 AC units and other appliances
Built in surge protection

So one installs with the AC units and you need one per AC unit while the other installs at the pedestal and has a higher power rating than the SoftStartRV. Attached is a review video for you to check out.
