I'm new to RV'ing and have stick 2007 Ford Fusion as a toad. The owners manual says to leave the ignition off and the steering wheel lock off. To me, this infers that you leave the key in the ignition. Am I correct or do you remove the key and hope the steering wheel doesn't turn far enough to engage the lock. I would appreciate any input or experience. Thanks.
You leave the key in the ignition, and the steering wheel unlocked.
You should get a couple of extra keys and keep one in the motor home, used just to unlock the towd car door.
Not sure about Fords, but on GMCs, you can have a key made without the digital encoding. It will unlock the steering, but can not be used to start the engine.

Thanks folks, I went to my Ford dealer and had a key made which opens the door as well as unlocking the steering column. It will not start the engine. I also had one made that has the chip for starting which I programmed. I'll be keeping both in the MH and will get a spare set of MH door keys to keep hidden in the toad. Thanks again for the feedback.
