    Is your APU missing a ground wire? Iv'e heard a few people with this problem with recently installed/new APU. Does it try and crank slow then start clicking until the breaker trips?

    The ground wire will cause an ALT error on the controller - it grounds the alternator. They made the cable out of very stiff wire strands - vibration causes the #### thing to snap off.

    I took the cover off the APu and checked the wires, they are all connected. I have time now, so I think ill go take cover off and double check it again.

    It did at first, but nothing at all now, breaker goes right away.

    you could try a temp ground as a test. jumper cables or a bar to ground the engine to the frame or even case.

    Send the code into R/A, they should be able to tell you what it means.
    Have fun with your lumber load...
