    Inor had his project for regulating the appliances at MT Acres. Even if it's just for monitoring & logging usage, Could that be used / modified to work here? Inor?

    Not really. My project is adjusting the settings on the devices based on usage and the time of day/day of the week. It is not measuring the precise energy used for each device; it only does an estimation of energy used based on past usage and adjusts accordingly.

    It probably would not be too difficult to create such a device. But honestly, it would probably be cheaper to buy an off-the-shelf version if you can find one cheap.

    With all the solar stuff these days, I'm surprised there's not an inline meter that would go (like plugNplay) between each 30A hookup and each RV's plug.

    Only thing I see wrong with it is it's Chink made. I think finding one that's not would be a very long search.

    There are inline ones. Plug one end into the outlet and the other end into the RV cord, the ones I saw were kinda pricey. Looked like they were powered by the circuit.
