Last summer I had three alternators go out. On my last trip I had the starter quit. I tried to get one at parts store. Could find one and found a rebuild place. They rebuilt the starter. It worked much better than it has since I owned the RV. The start was replaced when I rebuilt the motor before I started taking trips. That was about 25000 miles ago.
I also found out why I might have trouble with alternators. I talked to the owner and he informed me that if I purchase an alternator from a parts place it may not last very long. The refurbished alternators are just repaired to work and not refurbished. He has had to rebuild many alternator and starters that were purchased from part store. His business has improved as results of the poor replacement components from part stores.
My wife pointed out that last summer I had commented that either the timing was slipping or the starter was getting weak. To bad I did not remember before the trip.
