A place to share information about and to get help with your Tiffin Allegro and its P-30 Chevy chassis. I'm amazed at the seemingly infinite combinations of floor plans throughout the years.
Well getting ready for this years trip. New show faucet, new shocks, changed trans. fluid and adjusted choke. The only problem I can't seem to figure out is why I keep burning up alternator belts. Any suggestions would be appreciated. All and all I think we're ready for the finger lakes.
The cause really needs to rest with the belt itself. If it's frayed on the edges then there may be an alignment issue between the pulleys. If the belt is cracked then it may be an over tightening of the tension arm. If "teeth" are missing off the belt then it's not been tightened enough or in the case of V belts you have oil getting on the belt from a bad valve cover gasket. My bet is on a misaligned pulley.
