Nice Remote Mounted Alternator Rectifier

I guess that was a nice set up on your tractor towing the fifth wheel, where it seems the remote rectifier was located in the trailer? That is a great idea. Of course it would take a second rectifier for charging the truck battery. Where you running two alternators? Or two rectifiers for one alternator?

I was thinking about using a dual alternator set up for a retirement truck, to pull a fifth wheel. My idea would be a 24 volt second alternator, hooked up to 4 deep cycle batteries, running a 24 volt pure sine wave inverter, to supply power to the trailer.

However now it is much less expensive to install a large solar panel system in the trailer, rather than upgrade the truck alternator and charging wires.

I was checking the price of a 175 amp alternator, and it was in the $600 range. And it only works a few hours per week, while the solar system will work on average 35 hours a week. And the solar panels on the trailer will keep charging the batteries even while the truck is out on a sightseeing trip. .

Thanks for showing the high output alternator system. Where can someone buy it?
