OK, we picked up the coach today from Topeka Graphics (a little touch-up, thank you)and I noticed that the 'GEN' tell tale light on the dash was glowing a nice red. What does this mean and what's the 1st thing I should do to fix it?

We drove over 70 miles with it like this, and the coach still started. Do I need to pull the alternator and have AZ test it?

Thanks,

John

Yes, definitely. If it's glowing it's not putting out to spec.
