Engine won't start

Hi! I'm new to the forum and pretty new to my Tiffin Phaeton. We just drove it 700 miles last week. All was fine. Now the engine won't turn over. Not even a click. What might be switched off? Any help appreciated. Single female needs help!

It's just possible you have a low or dead battery, try getting someone to jump start you.

We have a Spartan chassis under our DSDP. At the Phoenix Good Sam rally I pulled in at registration. Stopped the engine and went in to pick up our packet. Tried to start the Ody, the battery was dead so I started the gen set and hooked up the charger. Got it going, got the wife into it and tried to start the MH. Not even a click from the starter. Called CoachNet, they decided it was a dead battery even though I had new batteries (a little over a month old) and they showed 12.48 volts. They dispatched a truck to jump start. After waiting almost two hours I finally called an on site service and cancelled the CoachNet. After several tries they determined that I had either a bad starter, bad starter solenoid or a bad chassis solenoid. Haven't yet figured out which as it's started fine ever since. I did order two of the chassis solenoids as they are only $18 each. They were in stock but haven't arrived yet. Sure hope that cures it as a rebuilt starter (can't get the solenoid from Cummins as a separate part) is close to $400. I'll try the chassis solenoid first, and go from there.

Gail,
Different Tiffins manufactured in different years with different engines can have different problems.
Year?
Tiffin model?
Engine make & model (horsepower)
