Good catch! I don't think Hymer used this specific power option, but it's telling that FCA has designed their charging system to handle it (or at least they should have :blush:). Fully agree that a...

I was looking for links related the 'blown alternator(s)' on the FitRV Promaster mentioned in a previous post, not about tires and loading. The claim that James blew at least one alternator got me so...
