Question: RV Engine & generator turn over but won’t start?
Help! We’re stuck on vacation in a rental RV, and so far haven’t found a garage to work on it yet.

The gas guage shows about 1/4 tank of gas, but neither the engine, nor the generator, which both run off of the unleaded gas tank will start. They turn over, but won’t start.

We are in Vail, so relatively high altitude, and the temperature outside is probably between 70-85.

The temp guage reads normal on the engine, and the battery level is OK (but getting lower with our starting attempts).

I figure since both the generator and the engine won’t start it must be related to the fuel and tank area, and not the engine & transmission, as those probably wouldn’t affect the generator.

Any ideas to try or know any good mobile mechanics in the Vail area?

Sounds like it could be the fuel pump, or a fuse to the fuel system. Or even a relay. Good luck.
