Dometic SmartStart™ Soft Starter – For Penguin II RV Air Conditioner – 9610004640

The Dometic SmartStart™ Soft Starter is an intelligent accessory designed to reduce the compressor start-up power demand of compatible RV air conditioners, including the Dometic Penguin II series. By lowering the start-up current by up to 75%, it allows RV owners to run their air conditioner on smaller generators, inverters, or solar power systems—perfect for boondocking and off-grid camping.

This compact, plug-and-play device installs neatly inside the AC unit housing and helps manage overall power load, minimizing electrical spikes and reducing noise during startup. With the SmartStart, you can enjoy cooler comfort, quieter operation, and more freedom in where and how you camp.
