2018 Ford 35K Won't Start

Today the Southwind 35K would not start. It turns over just fine, but will not fire off. When I press on the brake pedal before starting, the buzzer goes off so that may be a possibility. Levelers are up. Slides in. Any ideas? I'll call Fleetwood tomorrow and probably will end up with a tow to Ford. I'm getting really disappointed with this purchase. Can't use rear vanity or shower due to a leak somewhere in the drain line, main slide would not retract on second time I used it (they manually retracted it), and now no start. Planning on going to Decatur IN in three weeks with 40 other squawks, many minor but some not so minor. I guess I should thankful that I have spent 6 nights and put on 200 miles since bought new (sarcasm).

2018 F53 won't start

I found the problem. There was a large connector with many wires that was disconnected passenger side near rear axle along frame. Suppose the fuel pump was one of the wires. Glad I had the time to look instead of a tow.
