Plug in voltmeter that correctly indicates with MSW Inverter?

[vsheetz]

Looking for one of the voltmeters that plugs into an outlet in the motorhome (like a kitchen outlet so easily viewed) - but needs to indicate correctly with MSW Inverter. What have you experience with?

Thanks!

Kill-a-watt worked on mine. Nice thing is it has a flow thru plugin and you can see what is going on during load or use as monitor.

We use a plug in device called the "Good Governor". It monitors voltage and frequency as well as checking for proper polarity, opens, and shorts. I tried Googling it, but nothing comes up other than pictures or articles on how it works.

Camping World sells a similar device:

Digital Line Monitor - TRC AECM20020-012 - Surge Protectors - Camping World

I have no experience with this meter, but it does measure the same things as our Good Governor

That one should work though I do not have any direct experience. Whatever meter you go with will need to use RMS to measure the voltage. The cheaper ones (non-rms) are only calibrated for a 60hz sine wave and will not read accurately with a MSW inverter.

I've had two Kill-a-Watt unit die in continuous monitoring usage... So looking for something differing. Still keep one around for troubleshooting, checking, etc.
