Alternator size?
Looking at specs for a different brand motorhome, it appears they use Ford E-350 and E-450 chassis with the smallest factory alternator -- listed as 120 Amps. But Ford also offers these chassis with 155 and 225 Amp alternators as options, which begs the question why would they not specify a larger-capacity alternator for RV use?
Some newer (and often smaller) RVs are even going with a second alternator dedicated to house battery charging, and at a significant cost premium, so it's hard to figure passing up on relatively inexpensive additional capacity.
Other than a little extra cost, can anyone see why you'd build a motorhome with a 120 Amp alternator when a 225 Amp is available?
Additionally, does anyone know what size alternator Thor uses on Axis/Vegas models?
