Hi has anyone fitted a KWH /Volts/amps monitor to there caravan or motor home ?There is various available where you simply clamp around the incoming live conductor,some even with app on your mobile just thought it would be useful to see how much electric used whilst on site .

Years ago I fitted an instantaneous consumption meter to avoid trips and blown fuses with all the different rates of supplies in different places. Interestingly it has shown that many site trips don't go off at the stated current, but substantially more. It is a "clamp on" sensor, but one does have to seperate the three cores in the supply cable and clamp just the live one.
Also I recently fitted a total consumption meter to keep a check before final bills at sites arrive. It has a useful display of kWh used since last reset so no need for arithmetic to know what's been used. All we need now is an accurate way of measuring gas consumption on a short timescale.
