The downside is if the one without the SoftStartRV cycles it will kick your breaker.
Also you do have to manage your appliances.

I disagree. I installed one on my 15000 unit, and run both units on 30 amps all the time. Even our 4500 watt generator handles both. But be mindful on your other loads that you might have on or can come on. They both cycle on and off all day long. But with the very low insulation factor of these FW’s, they run all the time. It would be nice to have two soft starts but we didn’t feel spending more when one will do.
