Our 1986 escaper has gone through so many alternators. Someone finally tried to solve the mystery and said we should replace our electronic isolator (correct name?) with a continuous duty solenoid. But, when we asked a RV repair shop to install one, they didn't, they just installed a new fancy version of what we had. Then they said the alternator isn't showing any charge (which was the problem we were trying to address). Since we had 2 new alternators installed in the last 2 weeks, perhaps the continuous duty solenoid is in fact what we need. But, is it true that if we get that, the car battery will be subject to discharge by the camper lights, etc? This mystery has been going on for years, the longest an alternator has lasted is 3 years once. Thanks for any help!
