I want to install a 12V digital volt meter
I wanted to install a digital LCD volt meter with LED backlight display that I bought off amazon. I'm familiar and comfortable with 12V electrical and I have decided to just tie into a 12V connection...

Looks good crcr. What is a Radio Shack hobby box? I may walk over to RS at lunch and check that out if it means fewer/smaller holes cut into my TT interior paneling.
I don't recall if that was what the label on the plastic work box said, but that is what the Radio Shack clerk called it. They had 2 or 3 sizes. It's a nifty plastic box with removable top, held by 4 screws. Using a dremel tool, I cut out the correct size square hole in the box cover to mount my LED volt meter from Amazon into it. Then drilled a tiny hole in the back of the box to bring the pos and neg leads in to connect to the volt meter. Then just a couple of tiny screws inside the box to mount it to the underside of the cabinet.
Whenever I sell the trailer, I'll probably remove it and install in the replacement trailer. That would leave no visible trace it had been there.
