LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning July 2024, Truma North
America will integrate SoftStartUSA technology into the
Truma Aventa air conditioning systems.
"We are excited to partner with Truma on this initiative," said
Brian Gibson, co-founding partner of
SoftStartUSA. "Truma is a well-known, well-respected brand within
the industry."
He added that the testing and qualification procedures at Truma
proved to be more rigorous than the standards of many consumer
product safety organizations with which we have collaborated in the
past.
"SoftStartRV delivered on sharply reducing startup inrush
current for better power efficiency, and most importantly,
continuing to provide peak startup performance throughout Truma's
very demanding cycle-testing process which included various
conditions that mimic actual user scenarios," Gibson stated.
Mark Howlett, Executive Vice
President of Truma, confirmed that after months of continuous
testing and analysis, Truma found the SoftStartRV to be a great
match for the Aventa air conditioning systems.
"In the past few years, our market has seen a rise in the use of
lithium batteries and solar power, for off-grid camping," said
Howlett. "Being able to add the soft start technology to the Truma
Aventa allows for greater flexibility in usage for the
end-user."
Howlett added that along with the innovative technology, and
premium customer support, it was the smaller size of SoftStartRV
that proved to be a game changer. "SoftStartRV is up to 52% smaller
than other similar units. The compact size fits the low-silhouette,
aerodynamic designs of the Aventa without restricting valuable
airflow within the rooftop compartment."
There are several advantages to installing the Aventa with
SoftStartRV including a significant reduction of startup amps,
which allows the Aventa to start more easily off inverters and
generators and offers the opportunity to run more appliances
simultaneously.
"For end-users, this means full startup capabilities, more
convenience in use, and less impact on the power supply or other
systems," said Howlett. "For RV Manufacturers, the benefits can be
found in better user experiences for their customers, utilization
in multiple coach classes, and less impact on internal components
of the RV."
"We've listened to our RV customers, RV systems experts, and our
own dedicated support teams to refine our soft start units to be
the best in the market," said Doug
Curtis, SoftStartUSA co-founder. "This collaboration with
Truma, reinforces our team's commitment to producing intelligent,
outstanding, and reliable products to help RVers keep more
comfortable in their mobile lifestyles."
Truma is offering both end-users and RV manufacturers the option
to purchase the Aventa eco or comfort with a SoftStartRV unit
pre-installed directly through Truma. The soft start installation
is customized to specifically fit the Aventa and since it is
installed by Truma, complies with Truma's warranty terms. In
addition, existing Truma Aventa owners may purchase a soft start
upgrade through a Truma Service Facility or Truma Mobile
Technician.
"Our goal is to help RV owners get the most out of the RV. The
moments we can share camping with family and friends are
important," Howlett said. "Therefore, every system, component, and
upgrade should live up to its promise and help make those moments
unforgettable."
