Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
I'm sure that we all have the idiot light battery monitor in our rigs. My question is has anyone found a didgital battery monitor that can be placed next to the idiot lights and use the existing wiring ?
Yup! What I did (and this is kind of cheesy) is took a volt meter from Harbor Freight (on sale for $1.99 a few years ago) and cut off the ends on the wires. I loosened up the idiot light gauge and spliced the two wires from the volt meter. I just used two way tape to hold the volt meter in place.
Now, when I push the button to see the lights, I get a volt reading on the batteries. As I said, it was cheesy, as it's not one of those fancy LED volt meters, but it works, and saved a bunch of money.
This is the meter I used/using. They are on sale all the time for $2.99 at a local store.
