I had a worse experience....called my step-father because my mh wouldn't start. When he got to my house, he discovered I had it in gear instead of neutral.....OMG....he's NEVER let me live it down! At least you don't have to look at the GS operator over the dining table!!!!!

Had a similar experience and I sure get some of the blame. I was showing a Class C we were selling. I unlocked the passage door and then went to show one of the buyers around the outside. Then went to start and there was nothing, nothing! Popped the hood and checked the battery connections and all was well. Jumped back in and expecting something to have changed (really) and nothing had changed. Zero, Zip, Nada, etc. Looked down at the gear indicator on the dash and discovered the transmission was in Drive. No start, No poop. Put it in Park and it started like a charm. Went for a test drive and accepted the cash offer on return. The person that had got in first remembered doing it but did not understand then, that that would bypass the start sequence. I have had the no start thing happen once since and my memory turns out to have been good, I immediately checked the gear shift indicator and found indicator in the Drive position.
