MH will not start
Need urgent help. Today when I stopped for gas, vehicle would not start. Could not jump start. Took battery out and had it checked. Battery good. Reinstalled battery and engine started up. Got to camp...

Wife had that issue once with a car we owned.. Forgot to put it in PARK
I had that issue on motor home several times... EMERGENCY START/Boost got it running all but once. That once the batteries were dead and the Boost did not have enough OOMPH New battery fixed
The other times all but one a battery terminal needed cleaning.. The factory used the wrong type of terminal (Wrong metal) and corrosion was an issue, I fixed (Changed terminals)
The last time it was the other end of the negative cable, Tech put on a new lug there too (I could not reach it properly)
I have a adjustable current battery load tester from Harbor Freight (This is the model with two gauges and a knob)
Very useful for diagnosis, found the problem every time.
