Alternator Wiring Question

Alternator Wiring Question
I have owned my coach for 3 years and it was originally designed for
only one bank of batteries. The prevoius owner added a starting battery
and spit the battery banks with each battery bank being serviced by one
alternator each. As near as I can determine, my dash amp gauge only
reads the output from the alternator serving the starter battery. I
have an add on battery monitor for the house batteries. I just finished
changing batteries and both my alternators because one was not working
and the other was a 130 amp "reman" which was several years old. I
replaced them with new 160 amp Leece-Neville units. I also note that
none of the 3 "stator" connections on the front of the alternators are
being utilized. Can anyone share information on how are some of the
newer coaches, which came from the factory with two battery banks, are
wired in regards to the alternators ? Do they have two amp gauges and
do they utilize the stator connections on the alternators ?
Thanks
