You won't notice the blinking light if you mount the monitor in the RV and if you loose power it's convenient to be able to see why from inside your RV. It's also nice to be able to see how many amps individual appliances draw and what voltage is available.
I mounted the monitor above the galley drawers which is directly facing the MH door. This way I can walk around the MH, look in the door, see the monitor and know if there is a pedestal problem.
Same here ... I mounted the remote display beside the sofa on the street side wall where it's directly opposite the entry door on the curb side so with the door open I can see instantly what the EMS is telling me without even having to go inside the camper. I too thought the display would be distracting but in fact haven't found that to be an issue at all. Our last time out we lost power at 4 am, which I discovered when I woke up to use the bathroom ... sure was nice not having to go outside with snow everywhere and temps hovering around the freezing mark to know there was a problem, the EMS had automatically disconnected us from that problem, and that the trailer had switched over to battery power and gas. I just turned off the trailer's main breaker and went back to bed while the EMS continued to monitor the situation. :B
