AC Volt Meter Install
I ordered an AC volt meter like in this THREAD What kind of wire do I need to use? Does the back side of the meter need to be covered by a receptacle box?

If you install a power monitor on the input line which I think is necessary to prevent surges or brown outs, why do you need a meter? Surges and brown outs can happen so fast that a meter will not register the problem.
Sounds like you never used a voltage meter in a RV, here is how I use mine. I plug in and check voltage, lets say it is 120v. Good! I turn on AC 115-118v...i have good park power. If I see 110 after I turn on the AC I might not use the electric part of the hot water heater or run the frig on AC if it really drops. That was one example.
Volt meters can give you a lot of info if you know the trends and what to look for.
