Slide-out control key lost

Yahoo Message Number: 73017
WEll it finally happened. My slide-out control key and my engine compartment key are somwhere on the highway 101 in California We drove all the way across the country without putting out the slide.
Dumb me I left the 2 keys, which are allways in the slide-out lock when diving, sitting on a rag on the back (bumper) and drove off to our last stop in San Jose, CA. I went to finally put out the slide and no key. The Rag was still there.
I don,t seem to be able to get HWH to call me back. They said it might not be until tomorow.

The local listed repair shop doesn't stock the key Bummer.
I need help. The HWH part # is RP 90038 for reference.
I would gladly bypass the switch but cannot determine the geometry of the switch. It, according to the schematic, is a simple double pole single throw....................but there are 6 connections possibilities ans 4 wires and no markins on the switch.

I need a key!

Would there be any body close by willing to offer a loaner or a good copy . I wiil be in the area until Saturday at my son's home in Mountain View and my unit is at TrailerTel RVpark at 101 and Oakland.
THe mail would also work. My Cell is 410-591-6864

HWH can be a bit slow in returning calls; however, in their defense, the tech spent over 2 hours with me on one call alone. When you get that kind of service, it's hard to be critical fo their call-back since it might be you on the line next time. I've often encountered 2-3 days wait on the return call, but it's because they are busy. but I can say, they are worth it and have excellent customer support once you get ahold of them

I have two slides, two keys (or maybe more if I really look). I can have one made, or forward one of mine for you to copy, either way I can have it in the mail this afternoon. Hope they fit, probably all the same.

No problem, Gary, just sorry the two day shipping was so much. After you find a blank and get it copied, just drop it in the mail. I do not care if I get it this week or next. I fat fingered my new address, and it is:

3506 Madeline Court
Arlington, TX 76001

I will forward tracking info to you, so you can keep up with it. I would have put all our correspondence on your personal Email, but do not have it.

The key arrived as predicted and all is now under control.
What a difference. We have been on the road now about 3 weeks and to finally open up the space has been appreciated.
Please advise what the UPS charges were.
Iwill get the key back as soon as I can get to a post office.
Do you need it fast?
