[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 6947730, member: 567719"] No man, a 270A alt would be plenty for 2.5kw. You gotta look at this way, your stock alt is like a little honda crx, and the load your system represents, is a big 30ft camper. Imagine that crx trying to pull that camper, it might be able to, but it's going to burn the engine up pretty quick. Upgrading your alt, is like buying a nice big diesel 4x4 truck to pull that load, lol. Nice analogy right? 270A is plenty big for 2.5kw, you don't even have to go that big if you don't want to, but hey, the bigger the better...besides, you'll want to upgrade again soon enough. [/QUOTE]
