Alternator: How many batteries can it take?
I have a diesel, so two batteries for truck, there are two 6-volt for the Truck Camper, and I want to put a deep cycle battery in the cargo trailer. The Camper does have 200 watt solar to charge it...

I will suggest checking out the after market hot Rod and speed shops
For heavy duty alternator
These are special build, and designed to carry full rated output
I put one in an 82 pace arrow p30 with 454
After burning OUT two auto store replacements
Standard alternator are not designed to carry full load for more than a short time
I learned that running my two house batteries low every night the expecting a good charge from the alternator was too hard on the alternator
Those batteries were under the hood, with short wiring from the isolator to the batteries
