Hello All, I've been talking to joel and would like to open up to any other experiences y'all may have. I've been modifying the electrical system on my 78 bus (earlier posts may have said 79 mistakenly). I've replaced the stock 55amp alt. with a 70amp'er (minor mods); the difference is phenominal!!! You can never have too much electrical reserve! I wish some aftermarket place had a monster big alt 100amps+ 8). Maybe I'll design a custom unit? No wait I've got it, I have an old motor from a 67 ghia I can always set it up in sinc.running a couple slave alternators :) I am wondering about ammeters; Anyone install an ammeter in a bus before? Where did you find a suitable unit. Also, Anybody hook up a 2nd battery. (I have a deepcycle die-hard marine just waiting to be added.) I'm curious about your suggestions for isolation. I'm willing to try anything logical. Bore me to death with technical fufu, I'm an engineer 8>) This will be the great experimental bus of the decade! I have the summer, no job, and no life :) *Werner Hellmer whellmer@icaen.uiowa.edu
