Nice install Bruce.

When you say you are only getting 4 amps from your alternator I assume you are meaning charging the batteries? So, what was the condition of batteries? If they were they already almost fully charged that might be OK.

Also, did you have anything else on in the TM? Was the refrigerator or any lights on? If they were and you still had 4 amps charging the batteries I'd say you might be OK.
