Have you had any recent work done to your fuel system?
Can I assume you checked all fuel filters to see if any are clogged? Is your fuel pump ok?
If you can provide more information on your motor I am sure some one will soon provide a solution to your fuel problem

Hi, and Welcome to iRV2. I didn't see what year of coach you have in your post. But it sound like you have a fuel pump issue. No/low pressure from the pump. Is the engine carburated or fuel injected?

If this year model has the two piece engine cover, you have to pull the carpet over and remove the screws. Then cut through the sealant and remove the cover base. Now you can get at the compartment with ease.

Just to cover the all the bases make sure you have fuel in the tank.

Do you have the gas line disconnected? Do you have both hot and cold water lines disconnected? Do you have all the electric lines disconnected? Last of all Do you have all the screws out? There are about 20 screws in the front edge. It is easy to miss one or two. I have seen a couple of manufacturers seal the water heater edge with putty. If this is the case, you will have to cut around the outer lip with a knife to free it up.

One old-timer's trick - remove the fuel fed line at the engine, then blow 25psi into the line going back to the tank. If there was any clog, this should break it up.
