well, Dave just before I saw your last post I found this https://shorturl.at/tuB9t. what do you recon.
I'd say a DC clamp meter is a mandatory item for any motorhomer.The Clamp meter I have was £30, bought from Amazon in 2017 and still working fine.
No longer available (at least the link from the original order takes you to a dead page) but doing a search on the Amazon site I saw this Clamp meter that looks very good value for money:
£34 but has a 20% discount voucher currently, so takes it down to just over £27 which I reckon is a bit of a bargain. That one also has a temperature probe which could be surprisingly useful I think and also features an "NCV" function which tells you if a mains circuit is live or not (handy quick way to check if a plug fuse is blown or if it is the device failed or the supply failed)
If I didn't have a DC Clamp Meter already, I would be ordering that one today!
This is where you need to take care in checking what you are actually buying.or there is this at just £8.90 inc. HABOTEST HT206 Digital Clamp Meter DC/AC Current 600A Multimeter Ammeter Voltage Tester Car Amp Hz Capacitance NCV Ohm Test. Sounds good to me and if it only lasts a few days that is all I need though Merl's latest post indicates that I should have one permanently.
£2.86 including postage will buy you a POS made in Chinese slave labour camps. personally I wouldn't consider that on multiple fronts.good grief, another one has just popped up for £2.86 inclusive of postage but might attract some tax. What's the scam I wonder. I might buy one just to see if it is true; with credit card, of course!
£17.63 + VAT = £21.16 is a good price. Looks like the same as the Amazon one I linked to with the incorrect "REL" button instruction.well, Dave just before I saw your last post I found this https://shorturl.at/tuB9t. what do you recon.
Yes Dave but where was the £21.16 one made and by whom, we just don't know do we. However, on closer inspection the cheapest one that it definitely says is dc amps is £8.90 so I shall buy that. If my inspection is wanting then I shall just have to suffer the consequences.

Yes Dave, 5 day postage is included and the VAT on a £9 product still only comes to £10.80. A friend came over and having heard the story said is solar connected, cos if so that is why the power is still up and dies at night. Silly me , why did I not think of that. Age, maybe? I shall get on and order that meter now before I forget what I was doing.
Remember to add shipping and VAT (charged at source)

I have a couple of Habotest products and they are ok, but they make multiple flavours of the same thing. You need the 206D

Glorafide starter batteries, no worth the full of my ass of roasted snow.Regarding batteries un the cab seats, these are the ones I got from Alpha, not sure if they still do but probably do.
I got two in no problem.

And I forced the cable out of the way, plenty of slack actually.

The hardest part was paying for them and hoisting the seat out and back in I did tie them down and there was about 20mm clearance despite how it looks.

Yes may also go that way, what i dont like is the heater sys etc, will have to do more homework.You can get Lithium as cheap as lead/carbon these days Trev 3-6000 cycles and much lighter.
