According the the HQ electrical engineer there is additional Capacitor(s) and circuitry to aid in the startup process. He did not elaborate if this is equivalent to a SmartStart system offered by Dometic or just a "Hardstart" type device.That is good news. Were we able to confirm that Newmar is really putting in real Softstarts?
My experience is the draw on A/C start does not exceed 20-22 amps briefly at start then settles at 12-15 amps.
