There were two load analyses published in the Network News, one by Jim Frantz and mine. (See LNN Issue 16, Aug/Sept 95, pages 196/197.) Jim's loads were heavier than mine with his alternator being a 60A while mine is a 35A Nippondenso. A good source for alternators is Landoll Electric in Oklahoma City. The brackets he supplies are high quality, and several friends in the RV community are using the regulator Landoll supplies. (That's RV as in airplane, not SUV.) My 35A is controlled by the (expensive) B&C regulator, and it's working fine. As expected, it's a tad shy when the hydraulic pump is running, but that's just for seconds at a time (the low voltage light comes on). This for all - Happy New Year!
