Bob,
Motorhomes typically sit most of the time. This can result in severely rusted pulleys, which in turn will eat fan belts, even good quality belts. Check for rusty pulleys.

Ok folks,
I've got a problem! I have a motorhome that keeps burning up altenator belts. They only last about 100 miles. I thought I had found the problem/problems. First someone else had rebuilt the motor when my parent had the motorhome. The fuel line had been run between the alt bracket and the belt, and secured with a hose clamp. I thought the clamp was cutting the belt when it was wobbling. Then when the Secondary batteries were installed it was asking at times for maximum amperage. So I disconnected them. Also the spacing was not correct on the pulley alignment. I got the alignment corrected. BUT, it is still burning belts, the tension should be right and the alt has been replace with one that rotates freely. Help!!!!
TIA
