High Output alternators?
How common is it to swap the standard alternator out for one with high output, like 140 amp? I would like to hear from someone who has, about what performance improvement you're seeing in terms of how...

I didn't realize I already had a 135 amp alternator. I'm thinking about getting a 2 or 3k amp power inverter to hook to my truck batteries and running a heavy ext cord to the shore power of the camper, in lieu of a generator. This would replenish my camper batteries after sitting awhile running fans, furnace, lights, etc. I could crank the truck for 20 or 30 min occasionally with a high put alternator to replenish the truck batteries. Anything wrong with this thinking?
I would try to go a little smaller to power maybe PD9130 or PD9140 converter with a 1000 watt inverter.
If you get any sunshine consider 200 watts of solar. This works driving or parked as long as the sky is clear.
