I have a Nash 26X trailer. It's a nice TT, but it has the standard stupid idiot lights that don't really tell you much. Will a little, easy to mount, cheap digital gauge like this work to tell me my battery condition?
Round Voltmeter
Rectangle Volt Meter
Other suggestions?

I used both the meters you have links to. The rectangle one in my RV and the round one on my ATV. Both meters read as they should and help me keep an eye on my battery voltage. They may not be as fancy as some of these guys use but they tell me what I need to know. I often check the RV voltage on my way to bed after all the lights have been shut off so the load is minimal, I do the same in the morning. Everyone keeps saying that they won't give a true reading with a load but once you get an idea of your loads you can get a good idea, for instance I know my heater will drop the voltage reading .2 to .3 volts so when the heater is running and I see 12.3 volts I know my resting voltage is 12.5 or so.
The meters may not be fancy but for the few bucks they cost they work just fine for the guy that needs to be in the ballpark and doesn't make a hobby out of power management and voltage tracking.
