Question Micro Air Easy Starts

[Richpatty]

Was it hard to install on a home unit? And it was a 20 year AC? Wow. We have a new unit that has a variable speed compressor so I not sure it would work the same.

Piece of cake! I got the entire kit from RV upgrades too, so it came with plenty of connectors, jumpers, and mounting stuff.

And NO..the EasyStart will not work, and has no purpose, for the new variable speed compressors units.

i put them on all 3 of my units. Still original units and I've ran all 3 AC units on 30 amp when it was a 100 out.

Doesn't the Newmar Ventana 4381 feature a PMS (power management system).ie., load shedding?. Newmar calls it "Precision Energy Management System".

Yes, but that doesn’t actually lower the amp required for the ac. The load management works the same with easy start, just allows 2 air to run simultaneously and using all 3 allows them to cycle where needed with any 2 running.

Micro Air soft starts arrived today. Will get them installed later this month.

This latest trip I am determined to sort out the control of the electrical usage.

It appears that when using the front A/C during travel the house battery is depleted significantly.
Not sure if this is normal. However when we switch to shore power on arrival a large amount of AMPS are used by the charging system to restore the House Bank.
This latest trip of 3.5 road time, the batteries were down to 40%. It was my understanding that the engine alternator should pick up this load bug not in this Coach.
This is part of the problem with popped ShorePower circuit breaker.

Load management works by detecting when overall consumption is approaching a tipping point after which a system overload occurs. It’s going to shed consumption until it’s safe to resume. Which loads are shed and in which order is relative to the systems parameters and how it’s set up.

Do you know if your charge bridge is working properly? It seems to me that the Lithium bridge may not be setup to provide the power to recharge.

A simple test would be to start the engine, put on high idle, and remove shore power. THen without any demand on the system (ie: turn of front air) see if the battery is charging or draining.

Hey gang,

We just installed a new Inverter HVAC at home, which doesn't need the EZ Start that I had just installed a few months ago. Seeing this thread, and realizing it can be used on an RV, I'm listing it here. I didn't think it would fit under the cover on our Roof A/C units, which are Mach8. So ya'll might have more freespace in the Dometics?

Anyways...giving a special discount for our forum members:
