BINGO!! Rivers, I think and hope you identified the problem!
I made double sure that all mechanical attachments under the coach were secure, but I don't specifically remember re-connecting the GROUND cable.
If that's not it I now have I now have good suggestions on how to track it down.
Thanks to all. I'll check the ground later today and report back.
GMCNET- What a resource!!

The engine to frame ground jumper strap is located on the rear of the transmission and wired across a transmission mount. It should have nothing to do with starting and running the engine unless you have erroneously attached the engine starting battery negative cable to the body or frame.
I'm not saying not to check it because it is needed for other things like charging the house batteries from the engine driven alternator. I'm also saying to check to make sure that the engine starting battery negative cable is run direct to a bolt on the engine and that the connection is clean and tight.
You did not say if the engine will crank when you turn the key to the start position.
