I use one of these RV AC VOLTMETERs plugged into a handy 120VAC receptacle so I can get a good glance at the AC VOLTAGE LEVELS. The SAFE ZONE is printed in GREEN.
If the METER is showing just under the GREEN ZONE I will use my MULTIMETER to measure the AC VOLTAGE to get an more correct reading.
This is a good chart to use to make measurements using a MULTIMETER at the camp ground pedestals for the 50A and the 30A readings.

30AMPS/20A/15A
Another good test is use one of those inexpensive CIRCUIT TESTERS (LOWES-WALMART-AMAZON).. The problem with these is they only plug into the 120VAC 15A/20A RECEPTACLES so if you want to the measyre the 30A or 50A side of the pedestal you will have to to use the standard RV 50A and 30A ADAPTERS.
