What happens when you turn the key? Did the visiting mechanic do a load test on the VW cab battery ?

Rialta Engine Repair

Order your oil filter(with gasket) from your preferred German parts source and take the rig to your local RV shop. They have lifts capable of lifting rigs far heavier than your Rialta.
