The two batteries in my Tourmaster are the great big ones as used in buses. Very expensive to replace. yes they say Caterpillar on them.
When I owned my MCI bus conversion I had 8, 6 volt golf cart batteries for house power and two Cat batteries for chassis. Charged the house and chassis whilst running. Had a second large alternator running off engine for charging house batteries. Bus had the detroit 8V92 engine @480 HP.
