Glenn, I have a Gillig chassis. Do you have remote start in rear engine compartment? Check and see if the remote is switched to the rear start, if so, can not be started from the front.
Skylark,
In his original post, he stated his rig was running and starting fine. He camped for a night and, the next time he went to start it, it was in the morning and, a no-start condition existed. What you're suggesting would mean that he would have had to trip that remote start switch during the night, if in fact, he has one. Many times, problems like his have a simple answer, a blown fuse that no one knows about, a wire that fell off or, became disconnected some how.
But, it can also have a more complicated answer too. A relay that's not tripping and making contact when it should. Who knows? This will he interesting to find out what his problem came out to be.
Glen,
Yeah, we're reading and seeing about your epic snow storm. Man, that's a lot of white stuff. When you find out your problem, please be sure and paste it on here so that all of us can learn something. Good luck.

Glen,
I certainly don't mean to sound sarcastic but, it took four pages for someone to ask you what kind of coach, engine, chassis, and more. Many of the remedies that were suggested only apply to rigs with gas engines. Some applied to diesels. Now that you've stated your type of engine etc. Along with this post, I'm sending along a couple of pictures of the starting system on our coach. It's an '04 Itasca Horizon, 36GD with the C-7 330HP CAT.
Now, in those pics, you'll see the starting system relay and, remote mount solenoid. There's also a 100 amp fuse and, a secondary relay. All of which play a part in starting this beast. Now, here's a point. I have no idea if your DIESEL rig has anywhere near, the same type of system or not. If so, you'll need to find it and check it out. If not, well you can disregard this entire post.
But, our rig is 10 years old and, you'll see the kind of condition I found that starting system in, by accident when I was doing some other maintenance and repairs. So, while I had good access to it, I rebuilt it. But, your rig MAY have something very similar. Good luck.
