The alternator was bad. Replaced yesterday and all is well. It looked like a very straight forward job but as with most things Beaver at least of the early Beaver/Monaco hybrid, it was not! It came off pretty easy but the bottom long bolt would not come out enough to remove. It was hitting what appeared to be a support that ran from one side of the engine compartment to the other. When I removed it the whole engine compartment seemed to shift just a little bit. The holes for the brace/support no longer matched up. Saved for the end but basically I lifted the coach on the left rear leveler until I could get the bolt in far enough to use the threads to help it in. Easier than I thought it was going to be! Clearances are tight at the back of the alternator, be prepared to reroute wires and connectors! Last but not least, every wire and connection back there literally fell apart and had to be rebuilt, With my background in electronics I was almost happy to see something that I was familiar with finally! Anyway it's back to travel ready! Leaving in a few days to get out of the last of the Central Florida heat until November. Next is the bigboy and BIRD! Not sure it's working right, engine batteries were almost dead while plugged in to shore power. But problem for another day.
