I had a Radio Shack Multi-meter that I used to check batteries for my model airplanes. After 14 years the meter decided to go to meter heaven.
I replaced it with a free meter from Harbor Freight.
A neat feature of the Harbor Freight meter it has a battery check for AA AAA and 9 volt batteries. Something my gold-plated Fluke does not have.
I had about a dozen batteries in a drawer and had no idea if they were good. All checked OK on voltage but with the Harbor Freight battery check I was able to sort out a few good batteries.
The cheap/free meters like you get at Harbor Freight work great for most things you would want to do in a RV. You do not need a .001 volt accuracy meter for most tasks involving the RV or your Truck.
