I feel for ya Bob. You try to give some good tip and get picked apart on some useless diversion or argument. Clamp-on ammeters are very handy. You can use them to see what amp loads various accessories are causing. Some will surprise you.

I've used mine on the main DC feed to my switch panel. Turn off all breakers and then turn them on one at a time to see what each is pulling. Great to see what is causing your grief.
