We just purchased our first Class C Motorhome, a Winnebago Spirit with an E450. It does not have a keyfob or keyless entry (none of the RVs available had those options). Tried to contact a Ford dealership in our area to see if these options are possible to add and the Service/Parts department was not helpful nor could they confirm whether or not this was an option that could be added.

Thought I would post to see if anyone else has had these options added to a Class C cab? Thanks!!

Our 2008 E450 came with a key less entry and alarm. I just assumed it was standard on the Ford cab back then.

I bought a new Ford pickup in 2007. I got the keyless entry on it. I dont believe it was standard, it was optional. I replaced the Ford with a Toyota Tundra in 2012, and tried to order a keyless entry because I really liked the feature on the Ford. I was told it was a Ford thing, and no one else could produce them. Who would have thought.

Our 2017 Thor Quantum/ E-450 came with an aftermarket keyless entry installed.

All my Ford's back to 2001 had key fobs. The three 2007 and up pickups all had keypads.

Search on line, th e 're are several have done the addition with list of parts. Was not expensive and I would bet someone like Cartoys could do it. One arrival was FMCA. Parts were $25 and I would bet plus fobs.

I went to EBay for a keyless entry kit for my 1999 E450.

I installed it in the driver's door, under the window switch.

I also cut the power to the inside lock button, because I used to hit it with my elbow, while getting out. Kept locking myself out.

The kit came with 2 fobs and a little control box, works fine for 3 years now.

My new/used 2015 Freelander 21QB didnt come with remotes as i inquirred about them so its another option along with queen mattress that is rock hard that i need to buy.

The kit is available for about 15$. If the cab does not have power locks already, add 3$ a door. Now all you need is a E-geek to put it in. That can't be too hard as Matt (BIL) put the whole thing in his 1973 GMC.

2017 doesn't have KE. Ford suggested a local audo elect. Supplier,audiitronics, estimated cost for elect module and install $200, I didn't want mod. Since it is under warranty. It hasn't been a big deal really.
