voltage meter or how to ck 50 amp at rv site
I was told I need to check my elect connection before I plug into the RV campsite electricity. I have 50 amp and sometimes use a 50/30 2 foot converter (50 amp one end 30 amp other end) from Camping ...

I have one of these boxes that plug into my 120 plug inside the RV. I don't have two and I don't know where I would plug in the second or which side or group is on which circuit you are talking about.
The one I have has always stayed in the good area... so I really don't look at it all the time.
I'm just trying to get more savy since I now travel alone and there are a lot of things I'm in the process of learning.
I probably didn't make myself clear. I am talking about checking the
RV site 120v at the post where you plug in.. the 50 amp and 30 amp socket BEFORE I plug in.
But I guess the responses I get is that my surge protector will
meet that need. Mine does not have a read-out. it has blinking lights but if it turns off, there are no lights so I would not know what the problem was. It could be low or high voltage, reversed stuff etc.
I was thinking I should check before I plug in and then if it's OK then I can plug in. or if something was wrong I wouldn't plug in.
I don't want to blow up my surge protector thing as it was quite expensive.
Also, I was told to make sure I plug in with the circuit breakers off and after plugging in, turn the breakers on.
Tks, for your comments and information.
