In an emergency situation as above a hammer is an important tool to have. Hitting the side of the starter often reseats the brushes and the starer will work.
Brushes inside starter get hung up failing to make contact with the armature.
It doesn’t take much of a hit but this has worked in the past.
Example of brushes connected with copper wires….. seated at 1,4,7,11 position.

I can give you two personal examples of why it is best to be proactive in changing hoses.
On my previous coaches I had one short section of hose that joined two copper pipes start leaking. It was only visible from beneath the coach. I saw the coolant drip, not enough to show as a loss of coolant, but just a drip that I thought might have been a clamp issue. Turns out the section of hose looked perfect righ up until I tried to get the screw driver on the clamp. The entire hose has rotted and disintegrated and just a slight movement of it was enough for it to let coolant pour from it.
The second thing that convinced me was an elbow coming from the Webasto. It looked like it had been over inflated, and in fact it was also on the verge of failing.
So I try to get my hoses changed every ten years. The last thing I need is a burst hose, sudden loss of coolant and time spent on the shoulder waiting for the tow truck. Water on board can be used to keep you going, but how are you going to get some of the places under the coach that have the potential to leak. Heat and age are the enemy.
