Folks, it's me in Northern Virginia with another problem.

We have been notified that we need to remove our GMC from the storage lot this weekend. They are not storing RV's anymore and are using those spaces to build more covered storage. Anything left past this weekend will be towed.

I drove the RV two weeks ago and everything seemed to be working well. When I got into it this morning to move it out of the lot, it would NOT shift out of park. I did a bit of searching on the forum and found a discussion concerning the possibility of the cable rusting and sticking, so I will look at that when I finish this note. If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know as I am under considerable time constraints.

Unfortunately, the coach is parked uphill on a slight slope (maybe 10-15 degrees). I am afraid that because of the slope it may be putting too much pressure on the transmission prohibiting me from shifting out of PARK.

I have no wireless connectivity at the storage lot, so I will not be able to check the forum while I am there. I WILL be able to get emails and phone calls if anyone has a solution!

Oh, I AM a member of coach-net so I assume that I could call them for towing if need be. Does anyone have any experience with them? Is this the type of issue that would be covered?

Thanks!
