We are having trouble starting our Damon Daybreak RV. Suddenly it is playing up and sometimes starts straight away and next time wont. We have checked battery connections - seem ok. Any suggestions!

Don't do any of the above unless you have clear sight of all wiring and connectionsTry starting it John.
Hold it on start for say a minute.
Now feel the battery connections.
If one of 'em's warm, then dismantle. clean, grease, and assemble.
If neither is warm.
Feel the earth cable to chassis connection.
If it's warm, dismantle, clean, grease, and assemble.
If earth cable to chassis connections isn't warm.
Dismantle, clean, grease, and assemble the starter cable to starter connection.
If not of them is warm, dismantle, clean, grease, and assemble all four connections.
If that doesn't work: -
Sometime's, but rarely, the cable to terminal joint is faulty and sorting the reminal to post doesn't do the business.
If the cable to terminal connection is faulty, get it re-crimped.
Soldering terminals to cables is frowned on.
Crimping is a legal requirement in many applications.
However, it's Ok so solder a crimped connection if you wish to have a go.
Good Luck.

in theory yes, however if you speak to the chevy importers, they don't do the solenoid as a seperate item, it may be replacable by a specialist rotating electrics repairer.

Thanks to everone with their advice on our problem. We followed it all, with the exception of 'rocking the RV' We're all mended now. It was the starter, made in Japan and not the USA, so we got a new one from our local Woodautos for under £100.
you beat me to it, hee heePS dont try rocking an an 8 ton Auto, it wont work
