Tom,
I can check the battery switch, it's not hard to do, but I think the problem is more likely in the solenoid or trailer plug. The problem occurs most frequently when the batteries are slightly discharged as opposed to being fully charged on shore power, and I think the extra voltage from the start battery when I switch to both/all is enough to overcome whatever resistance is causing the intermittent start problem. That's why I don't think the battery switch is the cause (along with the fact that it was replaced not long ago).
