Hello, I bought a used 2008 Sun Voyager 8389 2-10-12 drove it to this
campground and parked it. Now I need to move it and can not turn
the key.The slides are in and the MH is unpluged. I tried pushing on
the brake like my car but that did not work.
Thank you for any help you may give.

I dont know if RV are like cars with a steering wheel lock..but my wife, mother and sister all had problems when they started driving new Hondas with the same thing..they had to jiggle the steering wheel to get the lock off and allow the key to turn?? just a thought..

I called a moblie tech, he took one look at the key and said I was using wrong key.
With the correct key it started right up. I looked dumb but I was so happy it
started I didn,t care. Thanks for the responce.

OK.Dennis..here is a story to make you feel better...my dad is down in the Keys for the winter and has been telling me there is something wrong with his boat..when running the engine over 3800 rpms, the engine is making a clicking sound..he thinks it has a spark plug wire arching or something like that...I did some research, could not find anything....he took a friend out for a ride and had him sitting next to the engine..after about an hour running around his friend was able to determine that the spools of fishing line he had strung aross the T-top of the boat on a bunge cord..at a certain speed, the wind coming over the windshield caused the spools of line to wiggle around and bang into eachother.......

I was about to type to you that you might be using the wrong key. It happens all the time with me. Last time it happened it was on a Cadillac Eldorado I had just purchased brand new, I believe it was a 1993, but anyways I was in front of Whiskey Petes casino where the valet had just drove the car up and handed me the keys. When I got on the car I inserted the wrong key and the computer shut the car down to where it would not crank or do anything for two hours thinking somebody was trying to steal the car. I felt stupid waiting for that darn computer to let me drive off. So it does happen. :lol:
