You don't need anything expensive or complicated, just something that accurately displays battery voltage. I bought this that simply plugs into a 12v coach outlet. I like that the display swivels up and away to the lights don't bother us at night. I paid a lot less and don't know why the price has nearly doubled.

You can also splitters that show volts in the center display and leave you two outlets instead of blocking one. Shop around and test for accuracy when you plug it in. I've found most are accurate within .1 volts which is probably good enough.
