Here is how to check if it is fuel related or ignition related.
Go to an auto parts store and get a can of starting fluid. Take your RV out and when it dies, try starting it while spraying the starter fluid into the carb. If it runs for a moment, you know its fuel related. If there is no difference and the RV does not start, then you know it is ignition related.
NOTE- Only spray and use the starter fluid once or twice. More than that could damage the engine. Use it only for diagnostics. Your engine will only run for a few seconds and it will knock and ping like crazy. But if it does run, look to a fuel issue as mentioned in previous posts.
