Is your coach 30 amp or 50 amp, 30 amp = 2 spade, one round, 50 amp = 2 spade, one round, and one semi round?

Sounds like great news!

Remco was bought out by another company, but are now back on the web as Remco Towing. http://www.remcotowing.com/Towing/Store.php

Sure sounds like a battery with at least one weak cell, or still a poor ground between engine and chassis. Either will produce the symptoms described, and of course there other things that can happen, but these are the simplest of all and many times can be the major culprit.

Actually tow dollies have swivel plates, this is a plate that has a single pin or maybe bolt with a lock nut that allows the plate to swivel, the other kind is like an Acme tow dolly and has no swivel plate. Yes if it has a swivel plate, then you want to lock the steering wheel, but if no swivel, then leave the steering wheel unlocked. Transmission should be left in park, and as Herman said, no parking brake. Happy trails.

Can you climb 4 inch stairs? If so, I can offer a very inexpensive option. There are also lifts available that work amazingly well and the maker can fit almost any coach. By the way welcome to the forum! A little more info on your RV will be helpful, also a picture of the stairs from the outside looking into the RV.

Here is the webpage for the specialist in my opinion. http://www.remcoindustries.com/product-pages/towing/

Check this out, these people are pretty knowledgeable and have answered questions for me in the past. https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Fantastic-Vent/FV9068-09.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw8LTmBRBCEiwAbhh-6EIUQkvCsJ6O6LZ7E5H5c8nThxRcuEI-U3HFLW0Hb7QW7QYlRIFWtBoCf1MQAvD_BwE

Why not a simple gutter extender to carry the water farther away from where the currently drip, place a pot of flowers where the water drips for beutification purposes.

This is true, so is Accuride another company, who specializes in wheels made from Alcoa Aluminum.

The thermocouple is the crooked thingamabob that sits in the flame. The gas jet is sometimes called an orifice and most likely will have a new one with the new burner tube, at least I hope so.

That clicking sound is most likely the igniter continuing to try to ignite. The pictures of the burner shows it to be in very poor repair.

Also a bad ground from chassis to the engine can cause these same symptoms. The drop in voltage from 13.65 to 10.4 concerns me the most, so as Brett pointed out, try a known good battery source.

Check ebay, I bought a Roadmaster Stowmaster there at a good price and have been well pleased with it. I thought that $37.50 shipping was pricey but the seller shipped next day, "WOW". I only thought there was a problem with the unit, but with no directions, looked simple enough, but I installed it 90 degrees incorrectly, that was a problem until I found my mistake. Also most do not need brackets for the coach, just a receiver hitch rated high enough to cover the weight of the toad.

Glad that you have found a solution and all is well.

Hopefully he has it started now, but would sure be nice for more details about not starting. But I guess that he means the starter is not doing anything since he said that he had the starter tested. As Herman said could be a bad solenoid, but most Chevy 454's had the solenoid on the starter in those days and if so whoever bench tested the starter surely tested that as well, if not and it is like my old 454 was back then the copper button may need some work. Other places to think about is the transmission in park or neutral, even I have forgot to place the shift lever in park or neutral and felt like a nut when I realized that it would never crank without being in the proper location. Of course there is a chance that the neutral switch has gone bad and caused no activity. Since this started earlier today and the OP has not returned, I hope that he has discovered the reason that it didn't crank by now.

Does the engine turn and wont start, or does the starter refuse to engage and turn over the engine?

I think that is a corporate decision. I have been turned away by two other LOVEs also, I will not buy diesel or anything else from Loves again as a result. I was in a pinch for a fuel filter, I carry a chair which I can sit in to change, only uses one (duel stage), they had one sitting on the shelf in front of me, would not even sell it to me to make my own repair since they wouldn't do the repair. Another repair was a tire change, I carry a spare.

If the flue (chimney) is restricted it will not light, as Brett indicated, go through the flue cleaning process, something as simple as a mud dauber best or bird nest can really mess up the thought process for making the fridge work on LP. Sorry for the change in subject, but other mentions here made me do it.

I assume that this is a typeO! If so, yes replace those tires before hitting the road, much more important than Sumo springs unless the coach is dragging. If it doesn't handle and drive well, then consider these. Hard tires, (old) do not drive or ride well either.

Brian, does both sides on the front drop, or just one side?

That's why I also add to any conversation about crawling under a coach to not do so without proper jack stands in place, I have seen this and other very bad results over the years, SO AGAIN NEVER CRAWL UNDER ANY VEHICLE WITH AIR BAGS WITHOUT PROPER EMERGENCY SUPPORT IN PLACE.

Thanks for sharing Richard, the cover looks good. I also have an older rig, but found a cover at a truck stop which I am using now. I have also seen some older steering wheels that had been epoxied and fiberglass covered that looked very good in the end.

The work required to remove vinyl graphics is a little slow and requires patience. But it is a job that almost anyone can do or get teenager to do for you at a much lower cost than $60.00 +, simply heat the vinyl very gently, starting at one corner and lifting the vinyl slowly and evenly fanning the heat gun left to right, back and forth. Just a little practice and almost anyone can do it. The adhesive that is left behind can be removed with denatured or rubbing alcohol. Once off then new can be applied or painted on if you really want those graphics, your choice. If you want decals back on, take the coach to a graphics shop, if the shop is worth its salt, they can make exact duplicates, or change colors at this time for a newer look.

Nan, if you have room for more batteries, you can continue using the 2 12V batteries in addition to adding more 6V batteries in pairs, ie. 2 6 or 4 6V in addition to the 2 12 V's already in place. If you decide to do this just ask here how to wire them correctly.
