I have been expecting this to happen. Today in a tunnel I could see the idiotlight glow. On arrival at the camperstop I measured no charge from the alternator and the house batteries down 40 a/h. After driving 2 houres with the fridge on 12 volts
As all wiring seems to be ok. I change the altrrnator for the used one I bought in Holland. That did not help. Now it is possible they both are bad. I could hear bad bearing when I held a screwdriver to the old one.
There are no shops that can test a gm alternator here. It should be possible to find a new one somwhere and I have a repairset on the way to Danmark
Some of you might remember that I mentioned that it seemed that my house batterie were not charged properly a while back
Amy hints are welcome. Also any idear on how many amps are used just for the ignition and fuelpump.? I can cut of the blower. That would just leave the occasional braklight and indicator
