Added a 12V alternator to the PTO on the transmission. Works great. No battery problems since.

I know you said you had 3, but what is the advantage to so many and how many batteries do you have hooked up Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:36:58 GMT wayward@... http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/RTS-bus-nuts/message/20109 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/RTS-bus-nuts/message/20109 ...

When the 12 volt drains down, the 24 volt charging stop. It's impossible to keep the 12 volt and 24 volt balanced.

I put a awning on my coach, 18 foot electric, no arms, remote...was like $1800.00 delivered, I had to Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:56:52 GMT ablueprincess@... http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/RTS-bus-nuts/message/20106 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/RTS-bus-nuts/message/20106 An observation deck would be cool! But to do one or to put this straight awning on like cpeters said, would be destroying the beautiful curves of the RTS.
