Is there a chassis battery cutoff switch that needs to be turned on?

Take a pocket knife and with the headlight switch on use it to push between the battery cable end and the post even though it does not look of feel loose it will tell you if no contact is made. Do it on both the positive and neg. terminal if possible. If they are designed so this is difficult to do then remove them and brush with metal bristle brush and replace.
There is a coating that can form on snug, but not tight, contacts that will insulate the contact points from each other. Especially if left unused for a time.
As a further test you can check the battery for voltage to be sure it is not discharged and if it is then look at the battery separator circuit for a similar problem and check its solenoid.
Battery not starting the motor and not even able to turn on lights could be two totally different situations.
Hope this helps

I don't know your coach so these comments may not apply.
Do you see 12 volts on the battery terminals when the key is turned to start or does the battery voltage drop?
Do you see 12 volts measured from chassis ground to the positive post of the chassis battery?
Follow the negative battery lead and make sure it is firmly attached to the chassis.
Follow the positive battery lead and look for heavy fuse. If you find one check for 12 volts on the far side of the fuse. There may be a 300 AMP Forklift Fuse (or similar) in the primary circuit that has blown. Sometimes there will be a 300 AMP cap shaped fuse on the positive battery terminal.
Hope this helps!
