I have a 1996 Coachman Santara. It has been sitting idle for just over a year. I went out to crank it this weekend and it is dead, nothing. All the batteries were dead so I put a good one in place of the engine battery but still nothing. If I put the key in and turn it, I get no lights or anything. If I try to turn on the headlights I get nothing. Are there some simple things to check that could be causing it? I don't really know anything about them, a friend is giving it to me. He said it worked fine when it was parked. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Real simple, did you clean the terminals? (Already suggested)
Did you connect the new battery properly - Red positive and Black negative ?
Are you sure the battery you connected is fully charged?
