The alternator went out on my rv. Of course I'm 40+ miles from home, and pretty deep into nature. Getting back home was no issue. I us3d my generator to power a 30amp battery charger to recharge the two couch batteries. Then I jumpered the solinoid connecting the 2 coach batteri3s to the truck battery. Now I have 3 batteries for the 33 year old rv with no computers to draw electrical from to get me home......and if they all died, I could still have ran off 5he battery cha4ger. But this leaves me wondering?........... Am I disappointed the alternator only lasted 115,000 miles? Or happy it lasted 33 years? I can't decided.🤔 |

Must be alternator season. Mine just we bad Sunday on my 1970 Chevy truck after 28 years and I only had put 12000 miles on it. Now at 71,000 original miles it is shot. Took the original alternator and had it rebuilt instead of getting a cheap aftermarket. Hope I'm good for another 28 years! |

Sounds like a nice opportunity for an alternator upgrade... |
