"auto ranging" is a good feature to have since you will use it on 12v and 120v, 1 less setting to worry about..

Almost anything will do for what you'd need one for in an RPod.  Klein are widely considered top of the line, for not too much to just about as much as you want to spend.  Lowes has a good brand for around $75 Southwire, maybe.  Walmart has them for $10 to $25.  All of these are available on Amazon, etc.

You should also get a $10 to $15 non-contact voltage tester.  (See the long-running thread here about what you always need to test when you hook up at a campground.)

Good evening-looking for advice on a multimeter to keep with us for camping.  We are new to camping and will be picking up our first Rpod this coming weekend.  We plan to be hooked up to shore power as we travel back home, but I wanted to have a multimeter just in case?  Any suggestions for a particular brand or model?  I've never purchased one before and reading all the reviews have only confused me more.

Thanks.
