[RE-wrenches] Measuring an RV for load

[Chris Sparadeo]

I’ve been drooling over the Fluke 1732 Power Measurement Logger for the
past few year but can’t bring myself to spend that kind of money. Have any
wrenchers used it?

Jay, it looks like there is a product called the Power Watchdog PWD50EPO
that is specifically designed for RVs and acts as a surge protector. The
device has Bluetooth capability and also monitors power characteristics
(volts, amps, kW, kWh). It sounds like this is what you are looking for.
Around $300

Kindly,

Chris
