They were all free HF meters, I would have been very upset if I paid $250 for a fluke meter and ruined it. Talked to one guy who backed up over his when he was working on his tail lights and another that left his on a stump at a campsite. For the average non electrician Rver these meters are good enough. If you want more accuracy there is a pot inside than can be adjusted to a known good meter like a Fluke, they will hold that accuracy until the battery gets low and they will read higher.Bumpyroad wrote:
out of curiosity, what normal reading related to RV maintenance really requires a precise reading? ego, rocket science? or dueling meters, "My meter is bigger than yours?" I'm trying to find that 480 volt source in my TT and can't locate it.

Well said!
I have installed meters to tell me what the battery voltage and converter voltage is, and what the current from/to the battery is.
Why do I need an expensive multimeter? If I drop it on the floor, which I haven't, there goes $5.
