(we ran out of time due to our HOA restrictions..... Can't bring it back home for another two weeks.) I'll post what I find out.
I use that (similar) meter to measure draw all the electrical components in the RV that way I know what each wattage draw is and I have it logged for future reference, that helps me also manage line voltage inputs are well as load on Gen. With the wattage logged I can do the quick math to know what gadgets I can combine depending on the power inputs. Make sure you log both start up load and running loads.
