88 pt 40 how many alternators?

[Leroy Eckert]

I have two alternators also, 160 amp each. The upper one is accessible on my
coach by removing the mattress then removing a wood cover of the bed support
then about 100 screws on a metal plate under that to access the engine. After
that it is easy. The lower alternator is on the curb side just forward of the
rear bumper. l found that someone along the way had replaced a 160 amp version
with a 135 amp version. I went back to my factory values and all has been fine
since. With two alternators, there should be a switch on the panel that says alt
1, alt 2 and both or combined and should show the output on the amperes gauge at
the drivers panel.

I was just cleaning up the engine after my recent coolant valve
repairs
and noticed a belt hanging way up in front of the engine. It appears
that the alternator belt or belts are broken and off. This alternator
is up high in front of the motor and although easy to see looks quite
difficult to access for the belt repair. Are there two alternators?
What is the best method for this repair?
