1993 Pace Arrow doesn't want to start

I have been starting my 1993 Pace Arrow diesel pusher several times this past winter. Sometimes the battery needed a charge, but it would always start and run fine once the battery was charged.

Now, although the battery accepts and holds a charge, the engine will not turn over, not will the headlights illuminate.

There is juice to the solenoid, but when I turn the key there's no sound from it.

I suspect that the battery disconnect switch for the main battery may be defective.

The rig is currently in my back yard. My local RV repair place wants me to get it towed to their shop, but I'd much rather get it running where it is, as towing would be a hassle.

Any thoughts, suggestions?

Thanks!

I had this same model a couple of years ago. If I remember correct, the main battery disconnect switch needed voltage in the house batteries to connect. Can you hear it connect when you push the switch? This is written up in the owners manual, I think.
