Voltmeter?

Era 170X newbie. If I have a good surge protector, do I need a polarity tester or voltmeter?

Totally agree, get yourself a multimeter and learn how to use. And get yourself an EMS and not just a surge protector. An EMS will manage all of the odd electrical screwups that are out there and protect your coach.

I ALWAYS test the petalstool with my Multimeter before I plug in. Good piece of equipment to have.

for your first multi meter

A cheap one is best if you're just learning, If you have it and use it for a few months and didn't connecting it wrong and haven't burned it up, get a better one. https://www.harborfreight.com/7-func...ter-98025.html
