  1. AT&T is non-existent in our area where I am for 6 months. I sent the modem back to Tech+Connect. The more I hear, the more I am glad to be rid of this service. Thank you for your reports.
  2. OK, at this late date, my 2¢: I had a Honda 2000 generator and it ran my 11,000 BTU AC just fine. Enroute to a summer Texas environment the AC quit. I pulled into National RV in Shipshewana and he said it was too dead to fix and he did not have any 11,000 BTU replacement BUT he had a 13,500 BTU and we had it installed and were on the road within 2 hours. When we got to Texas everything was fine and it was cool in the 100+ heat. Later back at the Indiana homestead we tried the Honda 2000EU - pop goes the instantaneous electronic breaker and again and again. I called National RV Refrigeration and told him the issue and he said it was an easy fix to install a soft start. After that the Honda 2000EU could start the A/C. So, yes it does work and it may or may not be related to line voltage but is definitely related to inrush current that occurs when the compressor comes up to its first compression cycle. So I would say install the soft start kit and it is worth it for a 30A circuit with two A/C's which take about 23 - 24A steady state run current. BTW - I have these installed on the Journey 36DL with basement A/C and it runs on 30A just fine but you do not get to use the microwave or the electric hotwater until the inside temperature is stabilized and only stage 1 of the A/C comes on. If the temp outside is such that stage two comes on normally then no microwave or electric hotwater (gas only). It will run a float charge on the battery and a Crockpot ( outside the coach). End of the 2¢. 🙂
