There is a small electric motor that switches fuel between tanks and the switch itself could be faulty, replace both and check fuel filters at same time.

Either the fuel line from the front tank to the switching valve is plugged or kinked, or the valve is not moving all the way to that tank (if electrically switched). Pull the hose (from that tank) off at the valve--do you get good fuel flow? If the front tank is lower than the valve, try switching the fuel lines from the two tanks at the valve, and set the switch for the rear tank. If it now runs, clean the valve or replace it.

I have a 1989 ford econoline 350 motorhome and i need to know what is the type of alternator fan belt or the excat number of the belt

Just go to an auto parts store/distributor and tell them you want a fan/alternator belt for a 1989 Econoline with a 460 engine. That's all you have to say. Speak nothing of Motorhome, it really screws them up when you say that. All the have to know is that it's an Econoline 350 with the 460 engine. I have 2, an 87 and 88 Tioga with 460 engines and I never mention the word motorhome. I'm scrapping the 87 and have all kinds of stuff to sell from it. A complete front end with fenders, hood, doors windshield and bumper in good shape. I'm putting the seats and refrigerator in my 1975 18 foot Midas on a Dodge chassis, now with a small block Chevy 383 and 700R4 trans in it. Already put all the cabinets and booth from the 87 30 foot Tioga into this little 18 footer. Oh, the front end fits from 83 to 91.

I have a 1985 travelcraft motorhome. It says..econoline 350 ford. But the vin isn't matching the year? I cant find anything about this model. I'm trying to make it legal. We just bought it..any...

The only part of the motor home that ford provided was the cab and chassis. the 10 didgit in the vin number denotes year of vehicle. the vin on the dr door should match the vin on the dash.
letter b=1981 c=1982 d =83 ect the rest of the motor home is manufactured and installed on the open chassis. I hope this helps
