At first I thought I had a battery issue have used two different batteries replaced inline fuse and holder.
Have lots of juice at the battery, lights on the dash but the motor won't roll over. Starter clicks but won't start as if battery was dead. Am at camp site 31 and 32 with the red starcraft if your out and about.

Sounds like the start relay or starter. Is there power at the starter connection (big wire) when you try to start it? If not I would suspect the relay. If so sounds like starter. I agree try tapping starter with a soft hammer.

It could be as simple as dirty Battery leads, clean the leads if you take them off and on alot, my starter would turn but not engage, once I cleaned the leads with a light sand paper it worked great.

Try crossing the relay if it's easy to get to with two screw drivers you might get a little spark you basically are touching the two big terminals together,or if that isn't accesible touch the small wire on the starter to the big one and if it cranks your starter is ok most likely and needs relay or electrical repair. Be careful the engine may start keep clear of moving parts. Make sure it's in neutral as well or it won't try to start( neutral safety switch)
