It just might cost you only $17 to add "Keyless Entry" to your motor home. Apparently some E350/E450 cut-away chassis are equipped from Ford to work with a keyless entry key f
ob. To find out if your's is so equipped, try clicking the key on and off 8 times within 10 seconds. If the doors lock and then unlock, then you have the keyless entry electronic module installed in your chassis. If so, you can buy brand new Ford OEM key fobs from legitimate sellers on eBay for $17 a piece including shipping, and then program as many as 4 of them yourself which appears very easy to do.From the Ford Owner's Guide, under the Locks and Security section:
