One of the most useful tools in an RV toolkit, used properly, a multimeter helps you fault find electrical problems. Digital multimeters measure voltage, resistance, and more.
A camper has 100's of meters of wire and dozens of appliances and components. When something goes wrong, you need a tool to pinpoint where the problem lies.
The way to use a multimeter differs a little depending on what measurements you’re taking. Here are some hints and tips to get started.
The black probe connects to the COM port; the red to the mAVΩ port.
