Wont start

I have a Fore travel Gran Villa 1987 with a Ford 460. At first the wipers, turn signals and dash fan would not work unless I turned the key to the left for accessory, then turn to the right to start, then they would turn on. Then when I put the key in the dashboard dials and the ignition itself would not work, the coach would not start. Went to Oriellys, got a new ignition, installed it, turned the key, the coach started. Turned it off, turned the key, it started. I felt great. Went out tonight, the dashboard dials work but coach wont start. I hear clicks under the dash like usual but the coach wont start. Too dark to play with it tonight. Any suggestions/advice welcome. Thank you. 
EMT living in Missouri. Recently purchased 1987 Gran Villa 36 Ft. long,460 Ford engine with 40,000 miles on it, new tranny has 3000 miles on it, coach has 75000 miles on it, new 5000 watt genny new fridge, new tires. Am both excited and scared out of my wits at the size of this beast. Love it but need time to become accustomed to it's size.  I'm sure it will take time to experience all the secrets this RV has to offer. Any and all advice gratefully accepted.

Clicking under the dash may mean your battery has low voltage. Check voltage before going further. How old is the battery?
