Realize that the actual switch you touch is not the connect/disconnect switch/solenoid that actually does the connecting/disconnecting: it is a remote operation switch that controls a 2 position solenoid that actually makes/breaks the connection. I'm not familiar with the specifics of your coach, but generally the switch you touch momentarily applies power to one of two electromagnetic coils that physically move the switching part to either the OPEN or CLOSED position and leaves it there.

The fact that you can't get it to open tells me that the power going to the remote switch may be bad, or it could be the physical connect/disconnect switch, or the wiring in between to the OPEN electromagnetic coils.

I'd start with a voltmeter at the switch your finger pushes.
