RacerJoe,

Your predicament about not having a meter was why I went looking for an affordable, aesthetically pleasing meter because before we had these meters, all we had was a voltage meter that plugged into an outlet. And, yes, before we had amperage meters, we tried to interpolate with the one plug-in voltage meter. We just found that it could not provide the information we needed to keep the breakers at the pedestal from tripping.

With a plug-in voltage meter (or a voltage/amperage meter, like ours), the voltage that you are monitoring is the voltage that is coming into your trailer from the RV park which goes back to my earlier post about voltage and amperage.

Happy trails!
