If it does,, will it come back on by itself if the voltage is reduced to within spec (by adding load maybe)
Are there model years where it won't matter like my 1991, but it does matter starting about ? year, where the alternator does shut down, but then later years than that ? year, the alternator stays on and just the light stays on too?
If so, then members will know what to do depending on what year their RVs are.
