I too have had numerous problems with my "84 camper not starting.  I thought
it was just her personality.  But could it be the solenoid?  Last summer
during a long, hot, hard trip through the desert, she would not
start(turnover) until 1, 2, 12, or even 24 hours later.  Sometimes she would
even die while I was driving (this could easily be another, much larger
problem).   I gave her 8 months of R&R, and she started right up, but
occasionaly, after a trip somewhere, when I turn the key it takes about 10
seconds of holding the key in the start position for it to turn over.  Is
this my problem?  Any ideas?  Also, where exactly do I find the solenoid,
remove it, and perform treatment (or should it be replaced)?

Please let that be the problem.
