Hey I am going to put dual batteries in my truck with a battery isolator the starter batt is just a car batt and the aux batt is going to be a deep cycle do you think the stock alt will keep both charged also the isolator charges the starter batt to full charge befor it starts to charge the aux batt.

This is a typical small motorhome setup. So long as you aren't trying to power a dance club you should be fine. I'm thinking of getting a slide-in camper and will be doing this same mod if I do.

I am just going to power e-fans some lights inside my truck. And when I have my tent the bed of my truck I will power some lights for around camp but that is about it.

You'll be fine. Make sure you make a new power distribution center for the 2nd battery and that all your auxiliary power points are connected to it to prevent draining the main battery that starts the truck.

That's okay because I have a hard time imagining someone doing competition with Fosgate components, but to each their own.

But i look t at the boxes.. I don't know.. That's what the Sound shop in OKC told me last year when i had it all put in.... And i have No Back seat.. But my of sold the truck And it will go in my new 98 dodge 1500 ex cab 4x4... I just know that you can here it like 8 blocks a way.. And the only resaon i know that is because i live all most 8 blocks from the store and when my old lady takes my truck to the store i here it tell she gets back.. The hole time.. Cause she all ways leaves it running.. Well i would like to see some Pic's of the Dual Alternators and the Brackets that you made..
