I have some basic info but truly appreciate the videos. I'm willing to learn, for sure.

I have a digital Fluke and analog Simpson meters but neither go with me camping. For your tool kit to take in your Pod just go get a cheap Harbor Freight meter. It will tell your voltage or if you have a short just fine plus if you goof up and fry it you won't cry! All you need is a BASIC meter, nothing fancy.

Harbor Freight currently has a 7 Function Digital Multimeter Item#63604 for $5.99. Often times the same one is free!

That one is good for basic use. However, if one wants to check amperage use, it is useless. Harbor Freight also has a clamp multimeter, but in reality, one that can do DC amperage isn't any less expensive than the Southwire one I got at Lowe's.
