Wanderlodge Question: electical problems

[hippieforever3]

Any clamp-on ammeter will work. They look like they have "lobster claw" pincers
on top.

They range is price from under $50 (junk) to well over $200 (more than you
need).

You want one that has reasonable DC accuracy (=/- 0.5a) up to 40-50 amps where
most of your bus readings will be.

The best accuracy for the $$$ I found was a Sears Craftsman 82369 for $60.

Read the manual (Sears or not) and DO NOT USE AUTORANGING !!! Force the proper
DC voltage or current range.

I found all readings on my bus could change unexpectedly and autoranging will
drive you crazy.
