Pretty normal....
An alternator only puts out 105 amps or so new....drops as they wear...brushes start to wear, regulator gets wonkey, diodes can fail....
And the voltage regulator works to matain the voltage....
I would not worry.... It is pretty common....almost expected.
If you are seeing slow cranks after lots of short trips, might be getting close to needing an alternator...but most folks run for a long time...usually till it fails entirely

I'm guessing you are seeing the voltage drop when the fan turns on HI....should be a RARE Occurrence....on low I would not expect to see much of a change....is you fan running a lot? Cycling on and off?
