The engine started normally
and to my surprise the alternator worked. It worked all the way home
with four restarts.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the report of your electrical problem. I always learn valuable
insights from reports like this. Thanks for sharing. By the way, beautiful
RV6!

I'm not arguing, just curious; why replace the alternator if it performed
normally on the way home? I'm no expert, but I wonder if the problem is in
the control circuitry or the old, partially discharged battery. How old was
the battery?

Glad it worked out,
