1984 fleetwood/chevy fuel problem

I am working on a 84 30' fleetwood with a 454 engine,I have no fuel at the carb. and it has a stock cam operated fuel pump,I also found cracked rubber fuel lines where the filter is spliced into the hard line running along the frame before the engine. should I remove this and install a inline electric pump to suck fuel from the tank to prime the engine mounted pump? will fixing the cracked lines make the pump pull fuel from the tank? Is there a electric in tank pump in this that is busted? if so can I install a pump inline and pull through this pump so I dont have to remove the tank?
any help from others with motorhomes would be great,all the motorhome links online were crappy
