How to check electricity at a campground

[GizmosMom]

I just read a campground review where the RV-ers checked the electricity at 3-4 sites before they found one that was good.

We have been RV-ing for many years. We don't check but I think it is about time for us to do so. I did a search here on the forum but I could not find any posts relating to checking the electricity. I am not using the correct terminology, I am sure.

Is this a special meter or something else? I would like your recommendations for one, if possible.

Thanks!

Thanks, everyone. This information will help us so much.

Safe travels...

I use the same setup a IAMICHABOD has in the above "This recent Thread". I test before I plug in my P.I. EMS wherever I'm at.

At a bare minimum, get a digital voltmeter that plugs into an outlet and keep it plugged in where you can easily see it. Do not run a air conditioner below 104 volts. Voltage can vary throughout the day. Others will be alone suggesting various devices that are helpful.

Do a Google search for "electrical tester".
This is one of the things that came up for me:

It is a simple quick test for "major" faults only and you would need an adapter to test 30 amp outlets. It will NOT completely test a 50 amp outlet.

More complete tests are included with a medium to high end "surge protector", often prices around $100 or more.

It depends on what your budget is and how thorough you wish to be.
