Me too! I have a 1984 Itasca with a Chevy 454 engine (I think) that
started burning up belts. I was in the midst of having some other work done at
truck place since I didn’t have the proper tools or time to lift the rig to
changes tires etc… Took it back to them three times with busted belts, each
time they told me something new they’d tried. I don’t think we ever got to the
bottom of it, we wound up buying a new RV around the same time. But I’m about
to pull the old one out of mothballs and I’ve been wondering what the belt
problem could be or if it’s finally fixed. I’m curious to hear your outcome.

I've got a problem! I have a motorhome that keeps burning
up altenator belts. They only last about 100 miles. I thought I had found the
problem/problems. First someone else had rebuilt the motor when my parent had
the motorhome. The fuel line had been run between the alt bracket and the belt,
and secured with a hose clamp. I thought the clamp was cutting the belt when it
was wobbling. Then when the Secondary batteries were installed it was asking at
times for maximum amperage. So I disconnected them. Also the spacing was not
correct on the pulley alignment. I got the alignment corrected. BUT, it
is still burning belts, the tension should be right and the alt has been
replace with one that rotates freely. Help!!!!
