o I believe it to be better for both the AC and the generator to use the SoftStart.
Agree
As for higher elevations, my guess is that the Honda will still start the RecPro Houghton 9.5 AC but to avoid possibly of overloading the AC and or the generator, the SoftStart is only going to help.
Agree again. Hadn't considered elevation. I'll be at 6000'+ camping, always. My house is at 5500'
The SoftStart is a tight fit in the RecPro Houghton 9.5. I mounted mine under the condenser fan with ample VHB adhesive tape. The newer small Microair 399 should be an easier fit and block less of the condenser coil.
Since the SoftStart is an option from RecPro, at a $400 premium, I'd assumed it would be installed at the factory? I reach out to them to confirm.
Thanks.
