A good /alt starter repair shop or rebuilder will test them for free. keep in
mind that the unique factor is the inverter and the battery bank isolators. one
other curious issue is the switch on my 94pt that flips between the alts??????

when you separate banks and limit draw/usage a gateway should be installed at
the charging end so a demand put on a weak bank want path amps thru the alts.
the alts hook to both banks

no alternator charge, usually there is about a two second delay from start to
charge showing on the gauge. On the trip I hit a bump and there was charge for
about 30 seconds then none. Both alternators are new as of three years and
about 20,000 miles. To me it sounds like a ground problem. Also I ran the
generator and the coach charge came up to about 10 amps
