Alternators Rebuilt

[Bob & Carol Howald`]

You won't see anything on the leg-1 or leg-2 gauge ,unless your
running the gen set or plugged in. You should have a excellent idea
of weather or not your alternators are working by just looking at the
engine battery and coach battery gauge's they should be reading about
14 volts. If you don't have a alternator on line they'll go down
quick. Bob 93pt
