Hey, all you forumites, for all those who are chasing a digital ampmeter, I was in Jaycar today, and as
well as the fabulous voltmeter-cum-temp guage (XC0116, currently on special $29.95), they have a new combination voltmeter and ampmeter with built-in shunt. Reads to 200A. All for $49.95. Cat QP5550.
Only hitch is that it's really meant to be installed in-line with your heavy DC cabling, so it wouldn't be visible from the dashboard, but would probably be fine in a caravan/motorhome. But the good thing is that the covers can be removed, the circuit board with the displays can be unscrewd, and the board/display could be mounted separately from the shunt module (3 wires needed to extend it, and the board/display would need a new protective box).
This is a really neat module -
