Hello All,

We have a 2000 Affinity B&B with a C-12 Cat engine and currently parked at my in-laws... Help!  I need to get out.  :)

No not really.  I started the Cat several days ago without a hitch.  Just tried to start and It just turned over, but will not start.  This is a first for us.  We do know that a stray cat may be sleeping in the engine compartment.

Any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

I would check to see if has lost it prime. It has happened to me on my C-9. Problem solved by removing both fuel filter. Fill with fuel reinstall and see if it will start.

Is it cold in your location?  Fuel could have jelled.  With the coach plugged into a land line, turn block heater on.
When starting, turn the key to the wait to start point, when the light goes out, turn the key back off.  Do this a few times before cranking.  This will help if Glow plugs are weak.
Make sure you have fully charged batteries.  (way want to try starting with generator running).
Next check fuel filters.

Good Luck 
Bob
