Does Furrion Chill RV Air Conditioner System Have a Soft Start Feature

Question

Question:

Does this a/c incorporate a soft start? Such as the SoftStartRV Soft Start for RV AC Units - Qty 1 Item # SSR54FR. I thought I read somewhere that they do? Will this thermostat also control the heater? 1999 Monaco Windsor w/2 ducted a/cs. Uses Dometic Duo-therm thermostat. Thank you

The Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - Dual Zone - 15,000 Btu - LED - White # FR67FJ comes with 2 start capacitors, one for each AC unit, which is the Furrion version of the SoftStartRV Soft Start for RV AC Units # SSR54FR you're looking at.

According to the specs there is a heat mode for the Chill system that will work when your furnace is enabled. From what I was reading it looks like it more or less just uses the fans in this situation to promote air flow - I don't believe it's designed to operate an actual heater.

A 50 amp service would be fine, as the combined running draw of the Furrion Chill #FR67FJ units is about 30 amps. You'll want to watch your usage while the air conditioners are running, but if you don't use much in the way of additional power…
