- MEXICOWANDERERExplorerWith the troubles, no one bothers to come down to the coast anymore. The hotel has been closed for 8-years. Met a lot of nice folks. The patio was sure pretty with thirty planters full of blooming roses and a huge shock of blending 5-colors of bougainvillea(Flores de Las Peñas). No crime in or around the pueblo, but of course hair raising stories from elsewhere in Michoacán, Guerrero, Jalisco, Sinaloa.
What was the hotel is now a ruins. Truly sad. I live about 1-1/2 miles from it and turn to go down to the enramadas before catching sight of it. - qtla9111NomadAll new construction and older meters are being replaced in Mexico with digital meters also. We're up there too in improving customer service, energy efficiency and solar energy use.
It appears that in rural areas where transformers and lines are abused you find the most problems with energy variance. I have a meter(?) plugged into one of the kitchen outlets. It never varies. I live in a rural area. - Talleyho69ModeratorSo, are you still in the business? We think we were your first guests at you location in Michocacan. LONG time ago!

If the map coordinates rendered correctly with Google Maps, this location is is on a back street with a fair hike to get back and forth to the malecon and water taxis. No beach front access, no beach front views and little if any afternoon sea breeze. I find it difficult to concur with posted prices. I have yet to find a swimming pool that was as warm as the ocean at the end of the beach in Melaque. This isn't for me I'm afraid... - tepetapanExplorer

I use a remote sensing 2-channel (dos hilos) digital 254 volt dual ammeter dual voltmeter and combined kWh meter to monitor my service drop. I can check 254 phase to phase and 127 volts individually to neutral. I also have a third voltmer that monitors neutral to earth ground. kWh are resetable but a totalizer cannot be reset. This is a wireless setup that is working about 90' from the service drop.
I thought you were no longer in the RV park business. - MEXICOWANDERERExplorerI use a remote sensing 2-channel (dos hilos) digital 254 volt dual ammeter dual voltmeter and combined kWh meter to monitor my service drop.

Not sure why one would buy meters in the U.S.
Because they were in the US and the meters were available - then they just brought them down with them - very cheap - Chris, if you think about it you know who I mean. - PawPaw_n_GramExplorerWith the move to digital meters in the US, the market in the US is flooded with used mechanical meters. As noted above - they are selling now at barely above the value of the scrap metal and glass in the meters.
- Wm_ElliotExplorerUsed electric meters are available for less than $30 in the US - I'd be really surprised if meters could be purchased in Mexico for anything close to that price.
- qtla9111NomadMeters can be purchased from several Mexican companies and on line in Mexico. Not sure why one would buy meters in the U.S.
