I have a super c motorhome on an International chassis. I was packing up to go home, startex the rig just fine and she ran for about 10 min and tben cut out. Now when I try to start her, I turn the key and after allthe initial noise and guage set up I turn the key to turn her over and NOtHING. Not even a click. I checked fluid levels and fuses. Nothing! Any ideas on what se to check? Ws are stranded at a campground.

Sounds like your battery has died. Use a volt meter and check the voltage at the battery.

When the system shorts, use a test light to determine the short, hook one end of the test light to the battery terminal (test negative to ground and positive to power) and use the probe to ground or power, if the connection is shorted the test light will illuminate. Do not test positive to ground, it will no tell you were the short is, it just tells of a circuit functionality.

When the system is used the electrical connection is tested, It sounds like a battery cable connection is corroded or the cable itself is bad. Please check and get back to us.
