The day we took delivery of our MCI motor coach, we toured off towards home, stopped at an rv park for the night, our site was not very level, so had to run the coach up onto blocks. Shut off the engine & darn it would not start again. Futzed about with this and that, even tried jumping the starter motor. Called the guy we bought it from, futzed about some more, then after about an hour off mucking about, noticed that the transmission was in drive -----------DUH.
