Hi Y'all,

I am currently parked next to my daughter's garage. I had an electrician install a 30 amp RV outlet so I could plug in and enjoy such luxuries as TV and microwave without having to run the generator. I worried about how much power I am drawing so I went looking for an electric meter that I could install on just that line. Here is what I found--

Meter Types

For only $58 you can put a simple meter on your RV or for a little more you can read the meter from a remote location. This company also has water meters.

I am installing my new electric meter today.

In a Florida campground we stayed at this winter, we were being charged more than $150/mo. for electricity. I wish I had one of these to confirm their readings. Nice products.

Jack, keep track of the hours you use for the month. The park manager will tell you how much he charges for kilwatt hours.
