with alternators and the crazy switch readings. As I recall, someone
else, perhaps the prior owner of his coach stated that the switch did
not work properly because the alternators were not perfectly matched
up or something like that, and BB installed some kind of delay wiring.
I do not recall seeing a post as to the final results. Perhaps he can
let us know.
