Bob,
Before you get too wound up, have someone put an ear next to the open fuel fill when you turn the ignition on but do not crank.
He should be able to hear the fuel pump in the tank start.
If he can't, locate the fuel pump relay in the box that I believe is under the hood. Check the fuel pump relay in there.
Try to feel it work.
If the relay works, go under the coach and bank on the tank. Fuel pumps often get sticky from not running for a long time. It only takes a little to free them up.
Good Luck
Matt
