Based on the age of you MH, I also suspect the gas line hose. I had to replace the hose on my 2001 Residency a few years ago for the same reason. The test is trying to start it with the gas line stuck in a gas can.
Dropping the tank is no big deal but with a half a tank, it's a lot harder. If you have "pass-through" compartments, see if one of them passes over the front of the gas tank. If so, see if you can crawl in far enough to cut a hole in the center of the bottom of the compartment near the front of the tank to access the lines. You can always patch the hole with sheetmetal. That was a lot easier for me.
If you want drop the tank to get at the line, you'll need to loosen and remove the filler pipe beforehand. Put a floor jack under the front of the tank and loosen the saddle strap holding that end. The tank will hinge down allowing access to the fuel lines. When done, just jack the tank back up till the saddle bolts line up again. NO SMOKING WHILE UNDER THERE!
Bummer but yes I'm thinking this must be the cause as well. I've done fuel pumps many times in the past so I'm familiar with dropping a tank. Just never imagined having to do one on an RV... Lol. Thanks again.
