My 1986 airstream 345 wont start once the engine is hot if we drive it for an hour and turn it off it wont start back up untill cool, we have replaced all wires going to starter I cant find a qualified mechanic near westmont il. That can help us, also we have some electrical issues with the dash, if we turn the lights on the air gauge goes out, and there is some random buzzing, ( like a warning sound) coming from under dash

Motor homes are no different than truck chassis. If your starter is good and not drawing to many amps then it's probably a crappy ground as motor homes have crappy grounds. Run a good ground-battery cable size to the frame and another one from the frame to the engine. That should cure the starter problem. Also check the ground or put one on going to the dash, that ground wire should be about 12 guage. Otherwise you'll have to check the gorund all over the vehicle.
