Subject:using an alternator to charge a house battery
From:Joe Federici

I'm looking at putting a new house battery system in my
adventurewagen and would like to use the the alternator to charge one
or maybe 2 gel cell batteries. To do this I would need to have my
alternator converted to P from N then use a regulator to charge the
batteries.
The person I spoke with at the marine/RV store said this could be
done at an alternator shop. Has anyone done this? I guess the other
option could be 110v when at home and solar when I'm camping.
