W24 chassis with an 8.1 engine intermittent starting problem

[JCMack]

My mountain aire has less then 18000 miles on it by recently I am having some starting problems. When I turn the key I hear the relays click and there is a draw on the power as all the lights dim (normal when starting) but nothing happens the engine will not turn over so far after several attempts the engine fires up. I am afraid sooner or later I will be in trouble. The battery is fully charged and all the fuses are good. Any suggestions as to what I should be checking? thanks

Try the "battery boost" switch when you start your engine. If it helps, there is no problem with the starter and it may indicate a bad chassis battery or chassis battery connection is the problem.

Bad starter or solenoid. Lights should not dim. Too much draw.

Sticking starter solenoid is another possibility.

Could be a bad ground or battery terminals need to be cleaned.
