I love the Klein. Always checking the pedestal voltage before I plug in the RV. I've moved several times because of low voltage. And because it's 'upside down' in the 30A pedestal outlet (with 30A to 110V adapter), holding the voltage reading is really handy.
That is what I was afraid of. The problem is I had someone from maintenance check it, and they said "it is fine". I don't know if it was a true electrician or not. That is what I had asked for.
Even licensed electricians can be confused by grounding and bonding issues. Code is a bit confusing on how I tag works, and troubleshooting electrical systems takes a special skillset.
I ran into a situation with a 3 light tester that I don't know if it means anything or not. The correct lights were on, but one was much dimmer than the other. (This is in a house, not an RV.) The lights on this tester are normally about equal brightness. I haven't had a chance to check with a DMM, as we were moving, and I just found it.
Did you watch my recent video on hot grounds? There is a ground voltage level that will cause one of the Amber light to begin dimming. The same thing can happen on a house if the ground bond on a branch circuit has failed.

I agree. The Klein RT250 is great for checking pedestals using the correct adapters.

Yes, I have watched it now. It looked like ~25-30v was making the light dim.
I will check with the DMM and compare to a good ground as well, so I can have documentation when I go back to management.
