Ever since I got the engine combo back together I've noticed that my aftermarket voltmeter is acting a bit weird. It will be showing 13V and about every minute or so it will bounce around between 12-14V. The factory idiot light never flickers. I also installed a Digipanel yesterday and the display on it also shows variable voltage in sync with what is happening on the gauge.

The alternator connections are tight.

I HATE electrical work.

I can pull the alternator and have it checked but if there is a way to check it on the coach, I'd rather. Will it hurt anything if I pull the power feeds off of it and read directly from the output lug with nothing connected to it?

I can live with the bouncing but don't have any idea what it might be a symptom of. I'd hate to be halfway to Branson and smoke some component...

Suggestions welcome.
