Hello everyone,
I noticed yesterday that I have what looks like a extra positive - negitive-ground post on my alternator. If this so, could one
run a roof top AC ? I ask this because , I think ( Tom C. ) had mentioned something like this in a previous post. Tom, if this
wasn't you I apoligize. Do you have to use the generator instead?
Thanks in adavance!

Steve,
My Honda is set up that way but since I don't have a clue about what you have I suggest you get a service manual and see what it says. Many can be downloaded from the net.
Gus,
Thanks for the impute, I'll see what I can find!

Does your alternator look like mine?
Here is a picture of the back of mine
Hey Bob,
Looks pretty close, the old plate states 275 amp! Is that possible, I don't know much about it , but it is about 12'' --14'' long?

Steve,
Sorry, I thought you were talking about the house alt (Gen)?
Why do we call these house power units generators when they put out AC??

What year & make of your bus? Being long design, could be the old style generator. A picture will narrow down the choices of brand & type.
Before anyone can tell you anything about what you have without you getting the wrong information & damaging to the system.
275 amp and measure about 12" to 14" is a good start that it a 12v and possible old style generator? ? ? ?
Brand name? ?
A picture is like 10000 words being reduce into what brand & type you have before a better answer can be given.
Need help about getting picture posted? Or send me your picture, I can post it for you. Send a email to me via MAK
