Hey all is it easy to do twin alternator installation

Do you just want to run a second 12v alternator or chasing 24v? What engine.

Winnie has just removed his second alternator and is running a single high output (110 or 120A from memory) and has saved roughly 3-4l/100k

Yes I am running a 120A alternator now and removing the second alternator has saved me about 2L/100km
What is your purpose for dual alternators? If it's just to have two 12V alternators then it's not a good idea, a lot of work to do it for very minimal gain.
If you want 24V then that's completely different and totally cool.

I just want a second alternator run appliances like oven fridge microwave etc stuff like that cause each dual battery setup ive had they hav stuffed up cause I alway run a loud sound system cause im partially deaf

Get a higher output alternator instead and other than that, the battery can only accept so much charge.

If your in Melbourne the blokes at Piranha off road have an output compensator that can increase charge rate by 0.5 volts as well.

Another option anyway...
