Help! My '92 Gulfstream Sun Clipper won't start. The Chassis and Coach switches light up when pressed to the Use setting but when I put the key in the ignition to turn it on, the engine doesn't even turn over. Assuming I know absolutely nothing, can someone please walk me through the steps to take when starting the motorhome and give me any suggestions on things to check? I've driven it about a total of 2000kms (Canadian) and have had no issues with ignition up until this point but maybe I'm missing something really simple. Thanks!!

Id start with the battery.. May need a charge if it will take one or the battery cables could need cleaning. How long has it been setting since it was started?

We had CAA come to try and boost it but no such luck. The battery reads as fully charged when it's hooked up to a meter.

Oops, sorry. It had been sitting for less than 12 hours after completing a 6 hour drive.

I had a similar situation.....full charge but no start .....turned key on climbed under and crossed the wires at the starter...only happened one time, ( in park with emergency brake on)

What chassis? Gas? Diesel?What does/does not work on the dash when you turn the key on?What is voltage at the dash when you turn the key on?

Try moving the gear selector around while tuning the key.
