If your generator or shore power needs a little extra help to start your RV AC unit, this start capacitor will give it the power boost it needs. Relay switch turns the capacitor off once power has been supplied.
Features:
Specs:
If your campsite or generator isn't able to draw the power you need, then you may have difficulty starting your AC unit. The included start capacitor, however, can eliminate this problem. The capacitor stores energy that will later be used to jumpstart the AC. Once the sufficient amount of power has been supplied to the AC, the compressor will start to run, and the internal relay switch will turn the start capacitor off. At the same time, the compressor will send "back voltage" to the relay switch and capacitor in order to energize them for the next startup.
To install, bolt it to the fan motor support with the included hardware and then route the wires to the run capacitor.

If your generator or shore power needs a little extra help to start your RV AC unit, this start capacitor will give it the power boost it needs. Relay switch turns the capacitor off once power has been supplied.Hard start capacitor kit istalled in 5 minutes and works perfectly to keep the Advent AC cooling and never popping the 15A breaker, like happened regularly since install of the Advent. etrailer come through again!
Works as advertised. Originally was told that this part wouldn't ship for over two months, I ordered it as a bundle with new rooftop ac unit, however it arrived same day with the new ac unit! Easy install and helping to cool my RV!
Relatively easy to install. Putting each connectors on the right pin was a little confusing, but worked out ok. Fast shipping. Very satisfied. Working with Lance was very pleasant.
Amy, I want to thank you for your help in me being able to install my Camper's AC. Once I got the harness you advised me to get I was able to hook it up. It works great. I received the Capacitor on Saturday I installed that yesterday. It works perfectly on 120v. I have one more test for it when I hook up to my generator's on Thursday when I'll be camping. I'm sure it will be just find. Thank you again. It's a pleasure doing business with you.
Respectfully;
my order left etrailer within an hour of being placed. it arrived freight free 3 days later via ups. the ac was packaged very well and arrived without any visible damage. it is compatible with original thermostat and ceiling control box from a 2003 dometic 15000 btu duo therm . had to make a minor adjustment to the partition between the air chambers.the original ceiling plate was reusable as well.
Received after delivery of the roof AC unit,but well before the initial backorder date. Thanks Will ... great to work with
Simple to install, good instructions with pictures, works great!
Easy install. One wire to red wire terminal & the other one to the middle terminal of the capacitor. Done.
This was an easy installation, thanks to the etrailer vidio.
It only makes sense to install this extra capacitor to your RV air conditioner. This unit arrived with easy to follow printed instructions and the video instructions were a great help. Installation only took a few minutes.
***One tip I would offer when attaching the capacitor to the blower - screw in the attachement screws first without the capacitor. The screws are a tight fit intially and this step will allow them to go in much easier when you are attaching the capacitor body.
As always etrailer has the right products at the right price with excellent customer service.
One of those things. You can't really tell if it's working. Was a quick and easy install though. Instructions were quite clear.

Great no Problems!!
Our AC starts good on 20 amp circuit using this start capacitor
Installation went well and the instructions was easy to read and understand.I had the old unit out ,cleansed the roof and installed the new unit by myself in half a day and finished up wiring inside in a short time .Everything worked as explained,Thanks so much for your input and help with picking the right replacement ac unit
Very fast delivery time. Excellent packaging to help prevent damage during shipment. Haven't installed parts yet but everything looks good.
The item was delivered on time and very very easy to install I had it done and I would say less than 5 minutes between removing the cover routing the wires over to the capacitor and making the connection everything that was needed was included would recommend buying. I'm using a 3500 run time generator at my camper to operate a 15,000 BTU air conditioner and I wanted every Edge to help the compressor start without bogging down the generator I haven't done the actual run yet but I'm sure it will be okay and do as it was meant to do I've noticed Improvement with the startup of the air conditioner even under normal conditions plugged into Shoreline.
Easy install no problems. Arrived and package well.
This is a must have for using the advent air 15kBTU with a generator. Great product, very easy installation, very easy wiring.
Easy install, but I couldn’t tell you if it works, as I never ran the unit without it.
Very easy to install. The included instructions were very helpful.
Exactly as advertised, installed myself. If you aren't doing business with etrailer, you get what you deserve.
Not sure if I needed it, but I added it with my new ac because the old one had one. It was the simplest install. You may as well do it and not worry about hard starts.
Installed this start capacitor on my new Advent RV air conditioner that replaced an old Carrier Air V unit that I had installed a soft start on. This start capacitor was only $19 dollars compared to $300 for the Soft start.
