    Furrion Chill Air Conditioner

    Great news, today I thought I would see if the Furrion Chill Air Conditioner which has the slow start capacitor system would run from my garage 120 volt 15 amp outlet and it did. Before starting the AC, I turned on the refrigerator and the stereo since these are on when we are loading and unloading the RV. The AC will also be nice if I am working in the RV this summer.

    Good news. I have been able to run my Dometic off of the 15 Amp house plug as well. Everything else needed to be off though.

    The GOOD GUYS at @etrailer.com read my post and messaged me. They realized I already had my AC up and running when I turned on my refrigerator and suggested running the refrigerator on propane to keep from blowing the house circuit breaker the next time the AC cycles.... Thanks etrailer

    How did you find out you have the soft start capacitor? My Furrion Chill owner's manual doesn't say anything.

    Thanks,
    Dan

    I believe the Soft Start is something you add on yourself, after you own your rig.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I thought the same until I read TGlock24's post. I also found this, but it doesn't mean mine has it:

    My dealer told me about it and I verified it by starting my air conditioner on a 15 amp circuit.
    BTW, It is not actually called “Soft Start” but it is a start up capacitor system
