I want to install a 12V digital volt meter
I wanted to install a digital LCD volt meter with LED backlight display that I bought off amazon. I'm familiar and comfortable with 12V electrical and I have decided to just tie into a 12V connection...

I put mine next to the inverter swich...The inverter and 15A transfer switch are mounted under the pantry behind the power center.
I added a switch because it's very bright at night if anyone is sleeping on the pull out couch directly across from this. I also upgraded the wire gauge from the new PD 4655 to the batteries, so voltage measured here is the same as at the batteries (one pair of 6V). I also have the charge wizard pendant mountere now as well.
I generally leave the switch on when boondocking so I know what the batteries are at and also when the PD is in boost mode if the generator is running.
Other than that I leave the switch off, if we have shore power in the CG I don't need to see a meter to know that it's 13.6v.
