Question Newbie with Starting Problem

Hi Bit of a Newbie to this, Bought a 95 Fleetwood Coronado V8 6.5td 2 years back and have slowly being trying to fix a few Problems but this has me Stumped
the Key turns and does everything it's meant to do Ignition on Heater plugs work Turn to start and a Solenoid clicks in the front But wont Turn over the Engine, Put a Remote Starter Lead onto the starter and It Starts Straight away.
I've Downloaded and Printed the Chevrolet Motorhome Chassis Service Guide but No Wiring diagrams..
Any Ideas as I would like to get it Running off the Key rather than a Bypass
Thanks
Andy

If you are putting a pair of jumper leads directly to the starter as described then It sounds like a starter solenoid problem. Just because it clicks does not mean it is making contact. Time for a volt meter.

Thanks for the reply its got 12v to the starter im using an old snap-on Remote starter lead connected to the live and Signal wires on the starter and completing the switch with the button Basically Crossing the starter and it starts. its as if the circuit isn't completing as I've no wiring diagrams i cant tell if there is another relay somewhere I'm missing.
I've tried tracing them Back from the Starter, 1 Red Live to solenoid 2 Purple goes to Loom Connected to a Relay in engine bay (2 relays side by side) I've tried looking them up and I Think its the Pump relay(or its the same as listed for P30 workhorse)
Sorry to clarify the Clicking Solenoid is coming from the Front of the rv not the Starter

Its Been Fitted with a Laserline Thatcham Cat 2-1 Immobiliser and Alarm,
the Immobiliser Connections were Under the Fuse Box in the Dash Traced the wiring back from Ignition Found 2 Signal Wires on Green and Yellow wires Must be Ignition Live Sensors followed them Back to Alarm Controller then Traced from that to find the Immobiliser, Looks like the Immobiliser is Shot so I've Bypassed it and Ordered a Replacement as its part of the Insurance...
On the 95 P30 the Fuse box in the Dash has a Crank Fuse with Purple and White wire that they used to immobilise the Bus
