Size of Alternator
I have a class B with 1 engine battery and 2 house batteries. I also have a 120-12volt Norcold fridge. My engine alternator is 75 Amps. It says that the fridge on 12v draws 4.0 amps. My house batter...

What year is that dodge?
I can get 106 amps into my battery from my 50/120 chrysler alternator on my 89 B250.
Its about the circuit, and the resistance.
Thick copper, good connections are the key. Diode based isolators torture house batteries especially when vehicle voltage regulator only allows 13.7v.
If that is an 88 to 93 dodge, the voltage regulator is a bit wacky. My 89 chose 13.7 or 14.9v. One or the other with no regards to logic.
I have bypassed the regulator which is in the engine computer. Now I choose the voltage, and generally can achieve absorption voltage very quickly and hold it as long as I deem necessary, whenever I drive for fastest and most complete battery charging possible.
