Prpete,
A word of advice here. When asking a question on here or, any other RV forum, it would be nice if you listed the make/model/year/ of your coach, the engine/trans too would be nice to know too. There are some on here that maybe used to have the same coach as you're presently having problem with and, may be able to help you. But, if there's no pertinent information, all we can do is guess.

And if you worded your question with a tad more detail such as: "......Year.....Make....model.....engine and, just acquired this coach a month or more ago and, the engine won't start. Also I've got no lights, no... no...... etc.

You see, then it narrows it down for folks that are more adept at answering your issues. All this is not meant to chastise you, it just helps us, help you. And, if you go into your preferences, you can fill out a signature with all that pertinent information. Then, each and every time you post a question on your rig, your signature will appear at the bottom of your post with that info on it, and no one will have to guess what you're driving.

Wow! I think the very first thing that I would be doing is checking all of the wiring for rodent damage. If that rig has been sitting for a number of years you may have a big project on your hands.

Is their by chance a battery disconnect switch on the engine battery?

Obviously it is not on the starter cable but may be on the other loads.

If it has been sitting a long time the battery is probably dead and most likely toast. Measure the voltage and then try using a shop charger to bring it up. Good luck.

Hmmmmmmm, details, details, details, they count.

If it cranked then there had to be some charge on the battery. That said hooking it upto a charger is a good idea. The no spark is what would have mee looking for broken or gnawed wires. Just a thought.
