 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
