As photobug says, clicking pretty much invariably means low voltage at the starter. That could be due to a weak or discharged battery, a poor connection somewhere along the way (either ground or power), a bad start solenoid, etc.
If it's a weak battery, often you can get by if you start the main engine so that the alternator and chassis battery are connected via the battery isolator and help power the generator starter. That can be helpful to get out of a bind if you're stuck somewhere.
