I hope to have some readings for the furnace soon. I'll be sure to try to capture the current of the solenoid and starter in addition to the blower motor.

Below are two photos of the meter and installation. I wanted to have the meter at a convenient height to read and operate it so I decided to soft mount it with Velcro. The challenges of a folding trailer are worth the tradeoff.

I used a standard CAT5 connector for the meter since that was easy to mount in the standard quad outlet with the phone and 4 Anderson PowerPoles. This way I can use an extension cable and use the meter externally when the TM is closed.

The PowerPoles are standard 12v 30A connectors that I use for my ham radio equipment. I'm running a separate cable from the battery to these four 12v connectors.
