alternator problem

[John Suter]

It sounds like the "condensor" device you describe
is the radio/sound system "shunt" (1" diameter, by
2-3" long, tubular paper capacitor which shunts
extraneous A.C. current to ground) which generally
removes the "generator whine" from audio devices such
as the sound system and radios, and possibly TV video
interference, when the coach engine is operating and
the engine alternator is providing current.

If you discover irritating sounds/interference to
electronic gadgets, you might consider replacing the
device. Otherwise, in general, no harm, no foul.
