Ammeter Suggestions?
Pretty simple, looking for a decent and affordable ammeter to install so I can see the power being drawn out of the batteries. I was looking at this unit on Amazon but it doesn't appear to come with a...

If you plan on running any higher current DC to AC inverter it may overload a 100a system.
Watching current shows you how much current you are using at that slice in time. If your battery is full, or 1/2 dead your 20a requirement will still draw 20a
voltage is a relationship to load. as the current requirements goes up, voltage goes down, PLUS the drop of voltage as the battery gets used up. if you want to know how much charge is left using voltage, you have to check voltage with 0 current.
But than your request was for inexpensive, so These may be out of the question.
