Maybe I can get recommendations  or insight on my issue before I do unnecessary testing  and removal.
I left Austin tx and drove 5 hours on my way to Scottsdale Az and everything was running great. 
Pulled over for the night in Sonora Tx. The next morning we were continuing on our journey for about 30 min on I-10 aprox 75 mph and noticed the dash amp meter was really jumping to 100 amps and back and forth to 0 amps  . First thought was the gauge but then I saw the volt meter start jumping also from 12  to 16 volts and staying at 16 volt for a bit then jump back down . At this point I new something was serious . Rode another 5 miles for a safe place to pull over . Upon inspection saw or heard nothing odd.
I pulled one cable from the alternator circuit braker located in engine compartment taped it off and continued on the way for 12 hours with just power from house and engine battery power with no problem.
Sounds like the voltage regulator located on the alternator ? Was getting ready to pull the gear driven alt but thought I might ask for insight.
So seem like alt is working but putting out 2 much.
Should I look anywhere else beside regulator? 
Pull just Regulator on Alt or pull Alt as a unit?
Can I test Diode trio while Alt is installed or Just assume it is regulator the way gauges are jumping and pegging maximum .
Any recommendations on source for parts service, I'm still in Scottsdale for a little longer.

Alt info below  looks like original from1984  miles on coach under 100k 1986 dd8v92 40'

Is there a chart that shows where grease fitting or air tank drains any where to be had? Prevost puts grease fitting charts on the engine bay door…

  Kohler 20CC067-RV Generator Fuel Pump

So I am currently on a 2 week trip over the Christmas and New Years holidays. The trip has been a bit of a challenge when it comes to Newell issues. This thread will focus on my generator dying on me. So you know the symptoms, it was running and it started sputtering and died. I assumed it was a plugged fuel filter, I had issues with some crud in the fuel for the main engine so I figured it got to the generator. I went ahead and changed both fuel filters on the generator and tried starting again. No joy, I am not getting any fuel. I try the primer switch on the generator which runs the fuel pump, I hear the fuel pump running, now puzzled, still no fuel. I figure maybe just lost prime, so I pressurize the fuel tank with my vacuum blowing air into the fuel tank, pulled the line off the output of the generator fuel pump and its just trickling out. So I go ahead and pull the fuel pump, fuel pump is running but when I open it up the actual pumping part spins slowly and if you put your finger on it, it stops all together and barely spins. So I start hunting the fuel pump. The only thing on the pump are a few numbers, at least it had those as a starting spot, turns out the original is a Carter fuel pump #4070BD. I google this and I am only getting this part available to be ordered online. While searching a Delphi pump came up at Napa, the Delphi pump I got and used was part #FE0553. The only small hurdle was that the 12v plugs from the old pump were too large to stay on the terminals of the Delphi pump, but the Delphi pump came with new plugs so I cut the wires and spliced on the new plugs and then I was still having no luck getting any fuel. I had to pressurize the fuel tank again to get fuel to the pump, once I got fuel in the pump it started pumping good.

All of this was not so easy as I was doing this in Tennessee and the temps here were hovering in the 30's during the day and teens and 20s at night. I ran out of light the first day and we pulled up stakes and ran over to a local campground for the night so we could charge up and have power. That was another bit of a debacle, I stopped at the campground to check in and shut off the coach. Came back out and went to start the coach and click click, no start. Seems I merged the house batteries with my house batteries and I think my house bank pulled my start bank down. Not sure what to do at this point, my trailer with all my tools etc was at our property about 10 min away but was not sure what I had that I could do, the generator was not working so I could not charge the batteries. I called AAA and luckily they were there in about 20 minutes, the guy pulled out a tiny little jump pack and I was skeptical but we both decided to give it a try. Well it did the trick, it was enough and it rolled over and fired right up. The booster he used was a NOCO GB70, he mentioned there is one that is a bit larger than that one he recommend really should be used for a heavy vehicle, I think its the GB150, it has 3000 cranking amps. Anyways, that was just a small part of our trip saga. This was just one of the hurdles we were fighting. 

So a synopsis of part numbers:
Original Fuel Pump
Carter #4070BD
Napa Pump
Delphi #FE0553

Anyone know where to find a low coolant level sensor. Isx15. 3 pin. I got the number off of the sensor, but when I look it up, it reads, not enough numbers. I ordered a couple off of the internet that look like mine, but they didn’t work. 361111 was the number on my sensor. Ty

  Blown Detroit Engine

I have a 1980 that originally had a Cat engine. It was replaced with a Detroit 8v71 I believe. I loaned the rv to a friend of mine who doesn’t watch his gauges. It overheated in spectacular fashion. So sad because the Detroit had very low miles. Now I’m deciding what to replace it with since it got so hot it’s not rebuildable. I own a wrecked Van Hool with a good series 60. Any advice here would be appreciated. It looks like the 60 would fit but maybe I’m better off buying something else.

Hi All, 

My toilet is leaking from the top part of the black part of this valve on coach #530. You can see the crack in the photo. I would like to just purchase this part. But I can only find the whole sequence value for sale. Does anyone know where to just buy the top part. Thanks in advance.
