Be sure-fire-certain your coach's House (not Starting) Battery is good. Actually Good with Capital "G" Those gensets are really fussy about the battery. It'll seem good for everything else you ask it to do and won't crank the genny.
By all means, check connections, and be sure the cable ends aren't corroded WITHIN their terminals.
But if that battery's marginal, the genny will call you out on it!
This exactly. Just recently went through this and batteries fooled me at first. Check under load at the solenoid and if you check at the battery terminals do it after it has been off any type of charge for a few hours. Sometimes we check the battery right after we come off shore power and it looks good. Go back in a few hours and if it has dropped a bit...you probably need batteries.
