3rd A/C - after market power management system?

Question

I'm looking at installing a 3rd A/C on a rig and would like the convenience of an automatic load shedding device. It looks like Xantrex has one (Freedom Sequence) and I'm sure there are others.

I know new rigs often come with these. Has anyone installed one after the fact?

It seems to be more economically feasible to buy larger AC unit(s), rather than adding another.

The 13.5k is at the opposite end of the camper to the bunkhouse. I can’t imagine an extra 1.5k of cooling 35’ away will make a noticeable difference.

Looks like Precision Controls has a decent system. Just not sure what installation is like:http://www.precisioncircuitsinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/00-10020-000-PowerControlBrochure-Rev-B.pdf
