The original owner of my coach 40 years ago had he same idea. When I bought the coach I found a brand new alternator with receipt dated 1977. I carried it in the coach for a few years. I took it out and put it in my basement. So in 40 years the alternator has never needed replacing. With one exception which was after I had my engine fire at home about 10 years ago and made the mistake of using a dry power extinguisher on the the engine. State Farm paid for a new so I did replace it then.

I would not bother carrying one as you can always get one at AZ or Oreilly. If you are convinced that you must have one to carry, get the 100 amp Cadillac one rather than the 80 amp OEM one.

I do carry a $1.00 combiner which is a piece of wire with 2 alligator clips on it. Simply install it across the top and bottom terminals of the isolator and run off of the Onan generator if it is ever really necessary. I also never have needed the combiner. Walmart has them ready made in the automotive section for about $2.00.
