I have this meter but not sure how to hook it up other than to check the +/- leads coming from the trailer and read the amps in them?

If you have a WFCO converter do some searches on here and you'll learn it's basically a POC, as others have said they don't go into bulk mode at all. I had the same problem and ended up installing a PD9280 right at the front of the trailer leaving the WFCO where it is under the fridge as part of the power distribution panel. The WFCO now doesn't work at all BTW. See here:

Best thing you could do IMO would be to put a Trimeteric 2025 into your trailer so you know exactly what's going on with your batteries.
I hope you're not one of those people who fires up your generator "for breakfast" at 7am? Doesn't anyone (else) use percolators anymore and just do their toast on the stove?

With my solar panels installed a couple years ago I rarely need to run the generator at all anymore, maybe if we get a straight week of rain or something. Best mod I've done to the trailer but the PD9280 is there if I need it, powered by my nice QUIET Honda generator.
