Easy & Cheap way to determine battery draw
I would like to do some boondocking in Oct. How can I determine battery drain when I turn on a device, like a TV, amp, etc... while boondocking? Looking for an easy/cheap method to accomplish. Thanks

One of the most useful meters I have is a DC clamp-on amp meter. Sears sells one for about $55. Here' a link: Sears clamp meter
All you have to do is clamp the jaws around a wire in the circuit you want to measure. Clamping it around a cable that is connected to your battery will tell you the total current you are using.
