88 pt 40 how many alternators?

[Robert & Teri Rahn]

Okay so I access the alternator from the hole under the bed. Sounds
great. What are the compressor lines? There is a compressor in the
cooling system? Sounds like the lines will fail and cause the engine
problems then that is the 20 thousand dollars? Im sold for sure, but
where do I get these lines, coachworks?
