Voltage line in meter

Can someone please offer up recommendations on these meters that display the incoming voltage at the outlets?

This is the one I have used for many years, very inexpensive but does the job. IO use the one priced at $2.23.

If you have a 50a rig, you will have to get 2 of them or move them from one feed to the other to verify voltage on each 50a leg.

I have 2 that I recommend:
- The new one is a DIGITAL VOLTAGE DISPLAY (110VAC) see the picture below... also doubles as a night light
- The same one that norty1 has,

Both are actually within 1 Volt of the actual AC voltage... close enough for me

I have been using this AC plug-in meter since 2009 and I guess I left it laying on a tree stump somewhere... This was a great analog meter as it had the scale painted up showing the safe zone.



I ordered the DM55-1 to replace it and it has been doing a great job as well. The only thing I don't like about it is the back light for the digital readout is very bright to me...



I order everything from AMAZON

The dog loves it, he can find his way to the water bowl in the middle of the night.. I know, because I hear his tag clinging on the bowl.. DW hears nothing.

Voltage is easy, Amazon has so many cheap options that plug into a 'cigarette' lighter socket. I bought one that Mustang65 recommended last year, and use it on every trip.

Getting ready to install a shunt on my battery so I can measure the amps / current total drain vs. amps in, and volts. I should have done that mod first, but I guess that's what winter is for? Trying to find something to look forward to this season since I *hate winter*.
