Default Re: Electrical problems

You should be able to tell if your alternator is charging just by watching your voltmeter on the dash. If your chassis batteries are reading 13.5, there is nothing wrong with your alternator. That is a fully charged 12 volt battery.

If your coach is like mine though, the invertor/charger only charges the house batteries, not the chassis.

Why the alternator light is going on is puzzling. It could be several things like a direct short in the system, a defective alternator, but the batteries would be low in that case. Lose belt.

You do have a analog type voltmeter gauge on your dash, don't you?
