95 460 hard to start

I've got a 95 Winnebago motorhome with 460 in it . It's sat four for 5 months through the winter . when I try to start it I had to crank on it for 25 to 30 minutes before it finally started . I drove it for 5 miles and it ran fine but a couple of days later when I try to start it it had the same issue . A friend of mine said to change the temperature sensor . Do you have any other thoughts about this

Spray some starting fluid in the air intake tube. If she starts right up, you will need to check fuel pressure as a starting point.

DO NOT USE STARTING FLUID!!!! This is specifically for extreme cold weather in diesels. Too much and burnt valves are the end results, and it can cause other issues as well.

You need to start with the basics; fuel, air, spark. Check/replace your plugs, replace your air filter, check fuel pressure.
