The biggest thing though with softstart is I can run everything when it is parked at my house on a 15A circuit.

Eveything on 15 amps? I think you need to quantify that statement. While you may get away with running a 13.5k BTU a/c, there is no way you will have the a/c, converter charging a low battery, water heater on electric, fridge on electric simultaneously on 15 amps. The math just doesn’t add up. I'd hate for someone to think that they could spend 3 to 5 hundred bucks and think that they can "run everything" on their 15 amp outlet.
