Bryan, have you confirmed the voltage using a multi-meter yet?

If all this wild goose chasing is due to a faulty dash gauge on an old bus...

happy coaching!

The only Prevost experience I have is from when I was looking at buying a 1996.  It had a large 24v alternator for the coach and a 12v alternation mounted like the one in your picture for the house.  Have you tested the voltage from the alternator to determine which system it is for?
You don't have to believe everything you think.

hey guys! Sorry for the delayed response, I have been out of town. The coach is now at a shop, and thru some research, it IS in fact a 24volt alternator, and it is not putting out proper voltage.. .I'm now waiting on the shop to send it to be rebuilt.

The crazy thing about it is... the part number on the alternator is for a 12v... thru research I have learned that the converter had a 12v rebuilt to be a 24v.
