Need advice want to leave tomorrow and have a dead alternator. - jim matus - 07-19-2007 14:59

I have been fighting an alternator problem. I just had my second
voltage regulator fail. Leece-Neville 130A. This one lasted 5 minutes.
Has anyone shut off the alternator and just used the generator from
time to time to charge the batteries while driving. How much of a
drain does the operation of the bus put on the batteries-fuel pump,fan
engage,dash gauges etc. We are supposed to leave for Oshkosh tomorrow
aprox 2000 miles. We will be driving only during daylight hours. I
will have the charging system looked at in the Midwest. What do you
think? Jim Matus 84FC35 Rescue CA
