Wow, lots of info to digest... I do use a meter for more than RV chores, as a diy’er I get into many things electric. I also manage my Dad's small RV Park. Hence the need for the clamp-on amp meter. I also have PV panels on my house... hence DC... and I’ve started tinkering with the world of arduino - might need resistance, capacitance for that.
But, that Bluetooth feature would sure be nice...
I have 2 different clamp on ammeters, one big one, one smaller one. They are both multifunction. For different jobs with different specs. Huge wires vs. not so huge for the amp readings. But I found that neither of them were suitable to also function as a day to day DVM. I tried, just didn't like them for that. Cumbersome. So I'll just keep two different style devices.
But that $50 DVM with Blue Tooth (BT) is worth every penny. I was just using it today! Inside the RV, I'm installing a 3 night light LED strip inside the bathroom so I don't have to turn on the very bright overhead light fixture at 3AM. So I was looking for 12V at the switch but there's no nearby ground. So I had the hallway power panel off and was using a ground there. The BT was the only way I could read voltage around the corner and have a ground.
The app on my smart phone makes it easy. I've already had a need for the BT feature several times since I bought the meter.
