Mountain Aire won't start

Went out to check our Mountain Aire at the storage facility yesterday and it won't start. We just got home 2 weeks ago after picking up the new coach and I have been closely monitoring the batteries as we are not plugged in to AC power. The last time I checked, everything was fine and the engine started normally and battery voltage was good via the Silverleaf. Yesterday the battery volts were 12.6 house and 12.3 chassis, so I started the generator normally but the engine would not turn over (nothing). I let the batteries charge for approximately 2 hours with Silverleaf showing 14.0 house and 14.0 chassis at the end of two hours.

I'm thinking it's related to something that prevents starting when on or engaged. I have checked the fuses in the rear battery compartment and they are fine. Not sure about the relays as I don't know how to verify them.

I have a call in to Spartan but thought I would throw this out to everyone for your thoughts.

Thanks Scott

Are the leveling jacks down? Slides out? Have you changed anything since the last time it started?

The only thing I did was to hit the Hadley air leveler when I was there on Saturday. I'm reading up on that right now. This a new coach and I'm sure it's probably something I've done.

Hydraulic jacks are up and slides are in. I seem to remember a post similar to this and maybe cycling the parking brake?

Well after much research and self trouble shooting I called Spartan and they are sending a mobile mechanic. I will update with the solution when done.
