Turn the key, Won't even click - NEED HELP FAST!!

[Adria Haynes]

Gang,

Our Memorial weekend trip was semi-ruined when our 1980 35FC
wouldn't stay running due to a fuel restriction problem. Since
then, I rebuilt the Racor, got it running like a top as recently as
a few days ago, and replaced all 4 batteries.

This is Sunday afternoon and we are scheduled to leave for our 10
day family vacation on Thursday morning - which means today is
critical for preperations.

I also just read the tutorial on here about how I was supposed to
have been starting the generator. Like a moron, I thought maybe I
would do the same with the ignition key and see if it fired up any
faster. So I turned the ignition key backwards for about a 3 second
count, then went to start it and got NOTHING. NO click, NO NOTHING
AT ALL. I know the new batteries are full since the gage on the
dash says so as well as the one where you switch the bus to run on
generator power - under the dinette in the doorway. I checked all
the battery cables and all are tight. The interior lights all fire
right up with full brightness. There IS power inside the bus.

My first thought is that I may have a bad ignition switch, since -
well, you know how it makes that buzzing sound when you have the key
on with it not running and the "low air" light comes on? It wasn't
even doing that - then it started to with the key "on". Being fancy
with the key THIS time is the only thing I have ever done different
on trying to start it in my life.

Please, please, please help me gitter goin'. I really need this
thing to run like new. I've got me, 3 kids and a wife all DYING to
camp in it in 4 days, our reservation was made over 6 months ago,
the campground is almost 4 hours away, another guy is counting on me
to pull is boat up for the group, and a group of 10 other sites of
family will be waiting for us - who have already made fun of me this
year once because "they paid less for their brand new travel
trailer than I did for my antique - and theirs starts every time".
They think they are much funnier than I do.

I know it sounds like a simple problem, but I already test drove it
for 50 miles just last weekend and assumed it was ready to rock, and
I don't have much time to consider this anything but panic mode
really at this point.

Thanks in advance if anybody can help.
