I carry a $4.95, $2.00 on sale from Harbor Freight DMM in the 5th wheel at all times. Is it really accurate in measuring ohms? No! But for casual voltage checking, shorts, broken connections, intermittent connections it is perfectly adequate. For real serious electrical diagnosis I use a $200 plus Fluke DMM that has multiple features for measuring multiple electrical items very accurately when needed. But for most RV needs a 10% error possibility IS GOOD ENOUGH. I still prefer the old style analog meters that were made by Simpson and Triplett but they are becoming obsolete and expensive if they can be found.
