THIS is what every RV needs in the kitchen area 120 plugs. Especially Motorhomes with Gensets. I use BOTH as a RV tech. It makes it very quick to determine if there is power to the RV. Faster than getting out my multitester. Most RV's have a cigarette plug at the TV booster wall plate. AND, most Motorhome Dash plugs, 1 will be connected to the Coach battery system. Doug
Below is also needed.

Digital is nice to read, but in some respects isn't going to be "helpful" to the average person who doesn't know or care about electrical voltages.
A meter that spells out clearly what is OK and not OK would be a better choice that gets the point across..
Camco 55263 120V AC Line Voltage Meter found HERE gives a well defined "Go/No GO" indication with green as GO and red as NO GO..
Battery is the same issue, not many folks will understand what 10.5V is and what 14.8V is let alone 12.8V..
Something that shows battery in graphical form gets the point across faster and easier than just a digital voltage readout..
Something like this..
Found HERE is a better choice (although does require some initial setup).
