Voltmeter indicates ... what?

What does the voltmeter indicate? I have an aftermarket digital voltmeter in the cigarette lighter, which usually indicates voltages in the upper 13's when traveling. The stock dashboard voltmeter is acting up, however, with the needle dropping down to 10V ... red light coming on ... then the needle goes back up to 12-13V range. Stays there for awhile, then repeats.
Everything seems to be operating well.
We're in Brunswick, GA, on our way down to Key West where we'll be dry camping for three week stretches between 14 day hookup stays so don't want any 'lectric gremlins.

Dick, I had the same problem with my voltmeter and it was defective. That is most likely what is wrong with yours, particularly since your "cigarette lighter" voltemeter is showing the correct voltage. I replaced mine, CC has them in stock. Very easy to do, just remove the dash top cover and you're looking straight down at it.

Dick,

Where are you staying in Brunswick? We're coming down there on Monday and again 2 weeks later. Also going to try to find a place around Ft. Lauderdale toward end of Feb.
