    Another great video! Clamp meters were a complete mystery to me until I discovered your other clamp meter video earlier today. I had also previously pondered the value of lighted plug ends, considering them more novelty then practical. Great idea, remote monitoring and verifying live current via the plug ends, I like that! I’m rewiring our 38 foot sailboat and the clamp meter is going to be a most valuable tool. So much so that after watching your video I stopped off at Home Depot and picked one up today. I’m going to first check my house battery battery charger performance, like you did in this video. Thanks again!

    Thanks for the video, I always learn something from these and they are very helpful. Is there a reason you don't plug in your coach and just have the inverters maintain house battery charge?

      Hi Tim, thank you for watching; glad you find them useful. Good question about plugging into the "shoreline". Newells require a 50A 240v service, which can't be downrated. Since our storage facility only has standard 15A 120v, I must rely on separate chargers to maintain my chassis and house batteries, at a very low and controlled current.

    Hi Steve. Thanks for another interesting and highly informative video. I learned things! 🙂 Hopefully, you can find where you are losing energy if it's not associated with the operation of the inverters.

      Thank you, Duncan! Thanks for the good luck, too...I'm actually heading to the rig in a minute and will re-address the cabling as well as inverter draw. They really shouldn't be working very hard at rest.

      @@RVSquaredSteve I agree Steve. I will look forward to your update on that situation. In any case, it really highlights the importance of why it is necessary to use a clamp meter to make sure your system is functioning optimally. Good luck!
