A true EMS cannot be added at the pedestal. A true EMS has relays installed in the path of high current devices like air conditioners, electric water heaters, clothes dryers, and when the overall coach current draw approaches the maximum current draw the EMS will start opening relays to shed devices. The first device to go is usually the the 2nd or 3rd air conditioner. Our coach is a 30 amp coach and has the factory installed EMS because it has two air conditioners. The only devices that are shed on our coach are the air conditioners. It sheds the rear AC first and then the front if necessary.
The world's best EMS is you. Know the loads and manage what you use. Toast the bread before making the coffee, etc.
